    I don’t think they necessarily have a goal.

    In the case of Pauline hanson, she just says things that idiots are thinking, and in return those idiots think she’s representing them against the establishment.

    I don’t think Pauline really believes she is destructive. I imagine she thinks she’s a voice of dissent and enjoys the thrill of being disruptive. Theres probably some narrative like “they need a big shake up” but no one really knows what that means or why that would be a positive thing, it’s just a phrase. “The people want consistency, as well as change”.

    The panacea that I think Farage has encountered, is that you can’t be anti establishment forever, sooner or later you become established.

      This has been a thing since before Shakespeare wrote the line, “Let’s kill all the lawyers.”
