RE: Yellow Vests and Brexit: Protests Against the Political and Economic Elite

in #politics6 years ago

Brexit is a fascinating phenomenon.

It is framed as working class movement, but is led by the right wing elite of the UK. You can't get more elite than Jacob Reese-Mogg.

People voted for Brexit for many reasons, some we will not know. But we do know that the vast majority who voted from Brexit will not benefit from Brexit as countless studies have shown.

Then there is the question of how the Brexit vote was won, which is currently under investigation. We have seen examples of adverts made to target people on facebook which broke electoral law. Democracy without due process quickly turns into mob law.

Sort:  

I see, sell the masses on the idea of leaving the EU, but plan the exist as a way to segway in worse "laws" :/
