Understanding the United States election requires nuance, balance and the ability to see shades of grey — all words that come to mind when we think of former Labor leader and controversial multi-media commentator and tweeter Mark Latham. Among the many press releases that appear in Ms Tips’ inbox, this missive from Max Markson (Latham’s agent) this morning prompted interest over what “incredible insight” we could gain from Latham on the US poll. Perhaps what it means to the people of western Sydney …?

“If you’d like to better understand and be more well informed about the 2016 US Presidential Election campaign, then book Mark Latham or Stephen Loosley AM for your next boardroom lunch or function.

“Politically intelligent, knowledgeable and with incisive views on how Trump and Clinton are performing in real time, both Latham and Loosley will deliver an incredible insight into what is happening in the cauldron that is the 2016 US Presidential Election race to be decided on Tuesday 8thNovember.

“Why Trump? Has politics become another reality show? What does it all mean?”

What does it all mean, indeed.
