I’m not sure what to say on here today. Whatever I write, it probably won’t make an iota of difference to what happens in America tonight. Like everyone else, I can only draw my breath; I can only wait to see whether America chooses an experienced, sensible woman, or a right-wing buffoon, fooling people by presenting himself as an anti-establishment figure. I’d like to be optimistic and trust Americans to choose the sensible, sane path; yet the referendum shows us how easily people can be lead down the path of folly. I cannot be sure, so like many people the world over, I draw my breath.
