This is pretty much where I’m going with this:
It’s either (a) politicians very surprised UK voted Leave - but then, that’s in honesty a decision too important to leave to the whimsies of the masses (I mean, c’mon!); or (b) there’s been some hacking of the roulette table to change the odds.
What struck me is that over the next 10-25 years, the UK will have a lot of economic volatility.
And in volatile times, fortunes are made. You can make money betting down as well as up.
We’ve already seen Theresa May, kind of widely tipped over the last 5 years as a potential leader of the Conservatives, suddenly come into pole position. Political volatility too. Coming from this angle - who will best serve the interests of the power holders? Theresa seems to have stepped up.
Democracy isn’t necessarily about a highly informed public taking clear-minded decisions. It might be more about leading the dog to the right dish.
