Brexit

The British people's exit from the European union is a step in the right direction. Prolonging the huddle with the other European nations would have been definitely un-British.

Allowing councils and committees outside GB to handle their decisions for them would have been uncharacteristic of the Brits who, over the centuries, have displayed a strong tendency to do their own thinking.

But the British exit is not only a plan in progress. It is also a symptom of what is happening around this planet. It fits in well with that other significant electoral revolt--the Donald Trump phenomenon.

It seems the American electorate has had about enough of the power structure in their country and are prepared to see what someone outside the existing political loop might have for them.

It looks as if the evolution of our social consciousness might be taking us into another exciting era. Almost anything can happen.
