The stakes are getting very high already: the establishment was blind-sided by the shattering wrath of the poor and disenchanted who saw voting out as way of making their voices finally heard from under the neoliberal din of austerity and social disintegration. This was a casual effort for them - a piece of paper in a ballot box. But they now have an even more right-wing regime who are showing every sign of not understanding the monster that has arisen. For the first time in my life I'm scared - really scared of what might happen in the UK if this goes badly. So far, I can't see many scenarios in which it won't.
It's amazing what damage 1.9% of the registered voters, not even the population, can cause when it is "winner take all".<p>US elections will be even more terrifying.
