The Reaction to Brexit Is the Reason Brexit Happened
Too much democracy. "As a rule, people resent being saved from themselves. And if you think depriving people of their right to make mistakes makes sense, you probably never had respect for their right to make decisions at all. This is all relevant in the wake of the Brexit referendum, in which British citizens narrowly voted to exit the European Union. Because the vote was viewed as having been driven by the same racist passions that are fueling the campaign of Donald Trump, a wide swath of commentators suggested that democracy erred, and the vote should perhaps be canceled, for the Britons' own good."
