UK to leave EU

[abaris]

I can understand ordinary people not having confidence that the rich and powerful are looking out for them.

Well, they don't. But make no mistake. The right wing populists being behind the Brexit campaign and behind other nationalist movements in Europe, don't look out for the common people either. It just so happens that the common people are easy prey for the pied pipers. Even more so in times of insecurity. But if you needed any further evidence, Nigel Farage already rowed back on his promise to fund the NHS, after the vote was in. He wouldn't have been in a position to do so anyway, but he didn't even feel the need to keep up appearances.
