Do you feel scared and alone? Do you feel like working full time for the pay you're on is fair while CEO's earn 300 times more than you?

Whilst it is not exactly motivating to know that one's pay is 1/300th of that of the CEO I'm not sure that "disenfranchised" is quite the correct description.

One's lack of pay and the CEO's excessive pay have no bearing upon one's rights of citizenship nor the right to vote.

It depends on which definition you use.

"Feeling like you have little power to change your life for the better" is one definition from the dictionary, and I can certainly see how that would apply to a lot of people. There are plenty out there who are doing 'the right things' and are, at best, merely keeping their heads above water.

While there are many reasons why people voted for Brexit, I think wanting to take back control is one that appealed to many, even though that isn't what they've actually done.

Scared... No (checks room for spidies, none currently on show). Alone - I'd like to be alone more. There are hundreds of thousands of overpaid fatcats and in MargMckWorld they would be capped. But on this planet greedy bastids get away with it.
