PRESIDENT TRUMP: Local reaction - Labour councillor Robin Stuchbury 'It was a campaign of division'
Buckingham South Labour Councillor Robin Stuchbury said : “Donald Trump won, but democracy lost. We have to respect the result but we don’t necessarily mean we shouldn’t question it. It was a campaign of division, division being the main theme from both candidates. The divided country voted for an outsider, but he’s a member of the establishment, the financial establishment, a billionaire. People have voted for an anti-establishment figure, but he’s still a capitalist, not a working class man.”
“America is a multicultural country, and that makes them strong. By vilifying these ethnic groups, he sends a horrible message to people in the country that this is now okay. Not good lessons for our children.”
