Paradoxish posted:Free trade is an easy scapegoat for extremely complex economic problems that have been plaguing the developed world for decades. NAFTA was treated the same way. TPP is getting even more flak because there's been a wave of economic populism building in the US post-recession that's largely been flying under the radar since Occupy Wall Street stopped making headlines. There's legitimate concerns about the public sector or copyright stuff but also obvious benifits to some aspects of free trade. The biggest turn off is that amending the deal never seems to be considered and actual discussion seems impossible almost anywhere. It just dissolves into ad homs. There's always reactionaries on either side of the issue; do you think most people who are pro-TTIP have super considered reasons for supporting it? The best argument for rejecting it is that there's no clarity or dialogue. You just want to give up, get rid of it.

To be honest there seems to be absolutely no one with political talent on the left in any country anywhere in the world at the moment
