So this is what democracy feels like. This is what a ballot-box revolt
looks like. Yesterday the people asserted themselves. They made plain
their dislike of the EU. And they did so against virtually the entire
establishment. The leaders of capitalism, the vast majority of the
political class, experts, academics, world leaders, global institutions,
the liberal media and the celebrity set united to warn the little
people, to hector and lecture them, about the dangers of rejecting the
EU. And yet the little people did it anyway. They said No to the EU, and
in the process revolted against a political and media establishment
that thinks it knows better than us how Britain should be run. This was
an uprising, a polite, quiet one, not only against Brussels but against
the political class here at home, against those who rule. .......The establishment failed. It stands exposed as utterly disconnected, and morally impotent."
