Today the U.K. is formally out of the European Union. Congratulations to Britain and all who made it happen, including former commodities trader Nigel Farage. The European Union just lost its first major battle against the people it rules with a fist.
Brexit is about the people finally beating back the long march of the institutions towards global tyranny. That’s what the EU is, a vehicle for global regulatory alignment and governance that is fundamentally, as Farage points out, anti-democratic and anti-individual.
