 Agree with that, the problem is now halved as we only have to deal with the ones here and not the ones in Brussels as well.

Agree with both of you.  When Cameron said "We're stronger in Europe" he meant the establishment.  They all lied and conspired for years to deny the electorate a vote on the subject and it back-fired on them by increasing voters resentment at being denied.

For the first time in recent history the people have ignored both the main parties, big business, the banks and the 'experts' and voted against them.  All the main players have further diminished their credibility with voters during the campaign.

Whether the 'main' reason for voting Out was immigration, sovereignty, democracy or whatever, the majority do not like the way the country is run and that was crystallised in the vote to give the establishment a kick up the rear.

We've been going through austerity for years (remember Cameron "we're all in this together") and yet while services to the truly vulnerable are cut and wages to the majority have fallen or stagnated the elite have not suffered at all.  The banks carried on paying bonuses, the top 10% are still getting richer.  There is a growing sense that "this ain't right".

I think there is a growing swell of feeling that things have got to change.  The real parasites don't seem to suffer despite efforts to make them work.  The local council always has enough money to employ another Director of this or that (after the last one left by mutual agreement with a golden goodbye).  Has a single one of our "representatives" MEPs, MPs, Councillors ever taken a pay cut to help out the public finances or repay the national debt?  And yet most people are being squeezed to do exactly this.

This is only the first step to redress the balance and I think the establishment is going to get another surprise when the next general election is called.
