Now that Brexit is a fact, we can say that -after neoliberalism- Mainland Europe is embracing its more social-democratic character again.

Thatcher got so much traction because she opened the floodgates while in the EU (EEC). Truss tried the same economic tactics, and it was a big dud because the UK wasn't in the EU any longer. No floodgates big enough could be opened by Truss.

Hip hip hooray for Brexit. The Wicked Witch of the West is dead.

What is so bad about UK and USA? The political voting system. It is based not on representation but on competition-for-the-sake-of-competition. The truth is spun, so you may think you are represented by your choice, but you ain't, Blanche. You compete with the other voters for representation. Not the individual, but the collective decides for you. And so we end up with two parties and both can be bought up by special interests.

Mainland Europe? Far more democratic, many more parties. Voters do not compete with voters because all are represented by their own individual votes. A specific portion of the voters gets the same portion of representatives: pro-portion-al. Very liberating. Too bad we don’t have it at any of our governmental levels.

Special interests tend to come out in the open in proportional elections, as parties themselves, because they simply cannot buy up all parties. There are too many parties for them to buy them all.

Hip hip hooray for Brexit.

Ask me how we can change the voting game in the USA. There is a US Constitutional path that can change our local elections into fair elections, and from that point on we can take on State elections. No, Federal elections have to stay the same, but instead of having three levels of just Highly-Concentrated Powers, we can break open one governmental level for sure and likely two levels in total.

After neoliberalism, we can open our local democracies, and invite social-democracy back to the center where -by nature- it belongs.
