    I would argue, that Brexit was a faint sign, that UK still have hope. Brexit was 'No' vote to thought-police, political-corruption, and selective outrage. It was a 'yes' vote for national sovereignty, and empowered diversity of opinion (where a diversity means to be 'different' compared than the 'rich /powerful/famous' line of vote) To me the early signs of Dictatorship are: a) Uniformity of thought (and, therefore, active thought police). b) The culture of Selective outrage (that then leads to selective law enforcement for your citizens). c) Paid (and therefore 'fake') victims. d) The identification if a 'single powerful enemy' that must be attacked preventively (or else everybody will get hurt) --- So a treatment that prevents Dictatorship, is to ensure that the economical, political and military power of a country (or a union) is well spread, and controlled by local votes (as much as possible), rather than representative vote It does bring 'less efficiency', but it is that type of entropy (introduced by uncertainty of diverse opinion of larger populous) -- that is necessary to prevent dictatorships.
