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 ā€˜3Pā€™ 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 Ć  la Ratatouille?

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

šŸ˜‚ Omg, this is AMAZING. I absolutely love this and am immediately going to research it and make it a conspiracy theory. There MUST be something in it. I mean, it's 100% true that they are all incredibly proud of their hair and it's part of their whole shtick. But the fact that their hair is all the same... šŸ‘€ I am about to launch myself into a Ratatouille-shaped internet rat-hole and I'm very excited. Thank you! That's my Wednesday sorted.
