Neoliberalism, My Ass

89. "the expiration date for elitist policy is nearing". Not for conservative elitist policy it's not.

Bernie, Jeremy and the unions knew that conservative elitist policy would follow a Brexit victory. The labor and environmental policies of the EU may have been 'elitist' (although I'm am not sure many liberals viewed them that way). Now that the conservative super-elites are free from those 'cumbersome' regulations, hyper-elitism is about to strike.

I do have to give the British far-right some credit. They understood that people are mad and angry at elites. When a conservative prime minister set up the Brexit referendum to pander to the far-right wing of his party they ran with it.

Their clever thinking was, "The people are mad at the elites. If we portray the EU as an out-of-touch, distant liberal elite that is causing all of the people's problems, we may win this referendum and get the UK out of the EU which is something we have been trying to do for decades. AND there is no danger of voters turning on conservative elites because we won't be on the ballot. We're safe and we get rid of those damn liberals in Brussels.

Thank you, Mr. Cameron. (And Mr. Trump is trying to figure out how to duplicate the British far-right's strategy and portray a vote for him as a vote against the elites. If he can pull that off, we will have a President Trump just like there will be a Brexit in the UK.
