'I can’t pretend that I don’t see further dark developments ahead. The US election is not alone – it comes after the Dutch referendum against the EU Association Agreement with Ukraine and the Brexit vote in the UK. All those events fall together and are a continuation of a process of the global rise of populism, of voting with your emotions and not with your brain, of irresponsible politicians and naive voters. What should we do with our societies? How should politicians communicate with people? In which direction are we going and where will we end up with such dizzying speed?'
The problem is that governments have to go back to actually listening to what their citizens want even if what the citizens want might offend the sensibilities of the cosmopolitan elites who think they "know better than the stupid rabble". The main reason for the rise of Euroskepticism in Europe is the sense of the EU being an elitist technocratic neoliberal bureaucracy unaccountable to and outright contemptuous of voters.
