Great piece! It feels flippant to say this after reading such an articulate and thorough article about Wilders, but it is quite incredible that three of the most prominent ‘3P’ politicians (Populist, Polarising & Post-Truth) have such ridiculous blonde hairstyles: Trump, Boris & Wilders*. Is it a coincidence? Does it act as a distraction from their policies? Do they have an evil genius underneath their mops controlling their actions à la Ratatouille?

*Not forgetting the less powerful but even more outrageously-hairstyled Michael Fabricant.
