They Do What They Want, But Do They Also Know What They Want?

Extract
Eurosceptics of all kind feel vindicated by the Brexit. However, their reasons do not only differ, they are actually inconsistent: For leftists like the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras the vote expresses the failure of a socially unjust political order devoted to austerity and market liberalism. Considering the anti-regulatory bias of the Leave campaign and the strict austerity policy of the newly re-elected conservative majority, this seems like a rather paternalistic interpretation. Many on the left-wingers refuse to accept that there are democratic majorities for inequality. They prefer to treat the voters as the victims of a wrong consciousness instilled by politics or the media.
