No, it's a collective flip the bird to a bunch of self preening Eurocrats. The EU is a clusterfuck and the British had enough sense to dump it.
Other pundits say that Brexit was an "anti-establishment" vote protesting the lousy economy and current leadership. If so, why did they vote the Tories in with a large majority so recently?
Maybe Labor didn't really offer up much AND Labor supported Breremain.
I think the US should exit NATO for the same reason. It's an economic sink hole the US can't afford no more.
