I think the British are more honest with their elections than the Americans. The establishment didn't want Brexit, they even employed a strategy involving an assassination of one of their moderates to try to gain traction.
They are more honest because the people expect transparency, here in Brazil there is even an expression we use to identify this value of "correctness". "Para o Inglês ver" => "For the English to see".
Government processes that can't be scrutinised or come up short of even under scrutiny get serious attention in England. In Australia, another commonwealth nation that has strong english values, a parlament member had to resign because of about 2k AUD that was inappropriately spent. Whereas here in Brazil, billions (with a b) go missing and politicians look around as though they have been awakened sharply by a slap on the table. Cultural differences.
I would go so far as to say that this tradition or culture British value is probably the reason their colonies do do much better than other european nations. The ideology that having rich colonies is more valuable to the "Crown" than poor ones, whereas the Portuguese where happy to have a colony they could steal from, regardless of whether it was poor or not. That puts Brexit in an interesting light as to why the values of the EU are being rejected.
Please chime in here anyone, I don't have any real reference to back any of that up and I might even be wrong.
PS is is this culture of oversight and verification of our political process that has been highjacked in a way that enables Hillary in these government activities that are quite simply "criminal".
