The reaction is turning out to be as interesting as the election itself. It isn’t any real surprise that the reaction of the statist Left is to overturn the election results by hook or by crook, but the passion with which the media are reacting to their perceived loss of influence is rather astonishing. One is accustomed to the attitude, but not to what appears to be a universal conviction. It is the reaction of the EU government itself writ small but very, very loud. “How dare the voters do this?”
The media? On the contrary, the British media (at least the national daily press) were overwhelmingly pro-Brexit and are now gloating.
