Thanks you might not like my next analysis though,
I was pro EU because it makes the most economic sense in the long run, and I admit I was actually floored that Brexit won,
but it has now confirmed something I have felt for a long time....
Politics is not longer about left versus right, it's about nationalism versus multi nationalism, and the UK has just delivered the first counter blow.
Up until Jeremy Corbyn was elected head of the labour party,
you pretty much had similar policies between Labour and the Conservatives on free trade, immigration & the EU, and then along comes Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, and boom! the UK's out.
Cameron is the first casualty of this counter movement, and while before I thought that the likely hood of a Trump Presidency would be slim,
it is possible Hillary could be the second.
