brexit 13In the course of the past week there has been a considerable amount of discussion regarding the meaning of the Brexit vote and the possible connection to a resurgence of economic nationalism that may also play out in the 2016 U.S. election.
Globalists (liberals writ large) argue the Brexit vote is isolated to the U.K and the failures of the EU.  However, some economic nationalists argue the Brexit vote is indeed indicative of a larger awakening amid people who see globalism, corporatism and political influence by multinational corporations, as bureaucratic largesse in a similar vein as the EU system.
I believe the latter framework is accurate.  The U.K Brexit vote has a strong connectivity to a similar sentiment within the U.S. electorate.

Toward that end, here’s a video of an Oxford debate series two weeks prior to the U.K. Referendum.  The speaker is Daniel Hannan a U.K. representative to the EU (Member of European Parliament), who was in favor of LEAVE.
Listen closely to Mr. Hannan’s eloquent and exceptional advocacy, especially the aspects about multinational corporations, and I believe you will find it possible to interchange and overlay many of the same arguments.
Time is valuable. This video is well worth your time. It’s chicken soup for the brain:
