'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Parliament Stormed In Bank Protest
"Protesters have stormed the Irish parliament during a march against government plans to inject billions of euros into the country's banks.
Dozens of people broke away from the demonstration and ran at the gates of Leinster House, the parliament's main building.
They wrestled with police as officers tried to force them back and secure the gate.
At least one man suffered a head injury during the scuffles with organisers appealing for calm."

"Some Gardai drew batons and some protesters were injured. The protest went on peacefully."
"A group of demonstrators are protesting outside the Dáil on Kildare Street.
Gardaí say there was an earlier attempt by some members of the group to enter through the main gates but they were removed.
The gates have now been locked. No one was arrested."
