Brexit is populist politics...apparently
It seems that British Ex-Primeminister Tony Blair still will not accept the UK population's decision to leave the EU by voting for Brexit in the June 23rd 2016 EU Referendum.During the interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr Tony Blair admits he had no idea of how large the numbers of immigrants were going to be when he opened the UK's borders while Prime Minister, but however refuses to accept how destructive many people feel it has been to communities across the UK trumpeting what a huge benefit mass immigration has been for the UK.
Tony Blair is unsurprisingly still seems adamant that public opinion can be reversed to suit his ideal situation where the UK decides to stay in the EU after all, although he accepted during the interview a second referendum isn't likely to happen and that the people have given the government a mandate to negotiate Brexit.
Those who feel that many problems are caused by a disconnection between the masses and the 'metropolitan elites' are dismissed by Blair as victims of 'populist politics'.
So let me ask all those 17.4m people who voted for Brexit, Do you feel that you are a victim of the evil forces driving populist politics in the western world?
