  1. So the moral of the story is that Brexit was a protest vote to get our national government to listen to them and had little to do with the EU and the problem with that, why would our government listen to the UK public outside the EU when they won't have that check and balance from the EU to keep our government in line? In other words, the British people shot themselves in the foot, thinking if they did that, our government would listen and things would get better, the smart thing for the British public to do was vote for any party that isn't the Conservative or Labour party if they wanted to send a message but what they did is only going to hurt the poor and middle classes in the UK. At the end of the day, Brexit and Trump is all about the power of the right wing press and how they've not been kept in check for decades to allow them to manipulate the public with an agenda that serves the top 1% and not the rest, the irony is that most don't see that and what makes it even better is that most people that voted for Brexit can't honestly say how the EU did any harm to them personally for them to hate it so much, in fact, most know little to nothing about the EU apart from what the right wing press want them to know and that is a major failing of democracy and the best way for us to learn from that is to have the hardest of Brexit so it hits the poor and middle classes hard only for the UK to rejoin the EU a decade later, that is the best way to send a powerful message to people that don't want to listen.

  2. That would all be found and dandy but if you look over the last few decades, the Democrats in the US and Labour in the UK had to move more to the right to become elected, Tony Blair in the UK almost made Labour seem like the Conservative party which as we know now which ever party you vote for, nothing really changes and the real problem why both moved more to the right is because of the powerful propaganda machine on the right that are twisting everything and the irony is that they stand for the rich not the poor or middle classes and you only have to follow the people that push a lot of the agendas on the right to see that as most are very rich.
