Sadly, some aren't even trying to hide that view... There was some British politician on the BBC the night of the Brexit vote saying that the referendum was a foolish idea and that the people should never been "allowed" to make such an important decision because they simply did not have the knowledge and background to decide correctly and that decisions of this magnitude should have been left only to the politicians and experts. The disgusting thing was how casually he said it, I realize the British have more of a "subject" mentality than we do, but still the way the elites blatantly look and talk down to the people is amazing.
