An anti-establishment "mood" helped contribute to Donald Trump's demanding presidential victory in 2016, and that same sentiment will play a crucial role among voters in the upcoming US election, according to the Lowy Institute's Sam Roggeveen. Mr Roggeveen told Sky News he believes the "mood is still very much anti-establishment," among western democracies "generally". "I think that's why Brexit succeeded ...
[and] I think that's why populist candidates, populist parties have done so well in western Europe". "And I think that's why Donald Trump did as well as he did in 2016". Mr Roggeveen said among the Democratics, the candidate who had "the clearest anti-establishment credentials" is Bernie Sanders.
