I'm a little late to the scene but the points I'm about to make remain accurate notwithstanding.
The very act of UK leaving the EU is a magnificent portrayal of democracy at play. The masses voted to leave and alas, that decision is ultimate. This is the very democracy the world aspires to, a country without democracy is indeed a repressed and conservative nation which has no consideration of the voice of its people.
There seems to be a general consensus - amongst investigative reporters, economists, and politicians - that Brexit didn't lie in the favour of UK, or the EU for that matter. But slightly over half the population still voted for it. Not only does this reflect on the uninformed nature of the general populace, it also portrays the current mood of the people which goes beyond simply this decision.
Allow me to expand;
The outcome of this poll shows that the lower middle class and working class casted their votes simply as an act of oppression and rebellion against the elite. David Cameroon and other tories publicly announced their desire for voting against Brexit. To prove and emphasize the point that they too have the power, there seemed to be an agreement amongst the masses that their voice will be heard. Cut the NHS funds, downsize schooling staff, but this: the power of the vote is still with us. We have brought change through this piece of paper, and we can bring change on the streets as well. Brexit itself didn't hold as much weight for them as the meaning behind the true message.
For as long as democracy prevails, the people will have the power. They cannot be shunned.
