In my view, Brexit is largely the unsurprising result of electing flashy, shallow, easily bored people who are surprised to find themselves in charge and are also are incompetent problem-solvers, so they say “fuck it” and flip a coin, whatever, look at me I’m helping. At the other end of the spectrum, you could have competent people doing hard, incremental, thoughtful, low-drama things to improve a complicated situation, but they are too boring to get elected repeatedly. Nice if we could have something in between, personable, competent managers, but of course they would be promptly shredded by the public, caught between Spanish ticklers on the right and crocodile shears on the left. /returns to under large rock /apologizes for talking politics, hopes it was actually political science theory
