I'm so "glad" that there are enough smug, elitist,
socialist leaning, climate change fanatic bureaucrats in the EU to
decide what's best for the 500 million people that live within its
borders without taking into consideration the people's opinions
that they are supposed to be serving. Maybe criticizing the Brits use of electric teakettles and
vacuum cleaners (that was negative for climate change) wasn't such
a good idea after all.

Not to turn this political..So will refrain from doing so.
Generally, I think the issue is globally, too many
Intellectuals/So called leaders think they know what is best for
there populations. Its fairly common to censure, mislead and lie to
constituents.
I am not a believer in big gov't oversight. I am also not a fan
of fear mongers (ala Trump) and my view is that the clowns that
think they are untouchable in big gov't, should be scared, as the
populist revolts.
From my experience, I have met with many politicians including 2
US presidents, 1 VP and Secretary of State. General read has been
the arrogance of knowing what is best for the general public. We
vote for our leaders, we should have a say in policy again. Not be
lemmings.
Good for Britain, all though the neg side effect has been
disgusting for the narrow minded bigots harassing immigrants.
My rant - Not slamming any politician as I am not looking to
make this political - but our choices in the US Suck. So if you are
surprised about Britain, I think its a trend that will continue
around the world.
I do not think it is really intellectual issues about the
leaders and people in the government that they think that they know
as much as it is an agenda and corruption of special interest
either corporate or other. They dictate behind the seen of what is
being pushed forward under the umbrella of greater good. They
hijack the moment into their greedy and selfish profiteering out of
it. Destroying the value and quality of things imho.

Reminds me of the great quote from George Orwell: "Only an intellectual could believe something that stupid."
Scary comments. Looks like the Brits made the right decision. I think Brits are more into a democratic government.
