I have to agree with both points, here. The Queen has class and decorum that very few heads of state possess. She embodies what a modern monarch should be. Someone should give her a cane, have Trump go into a room with the queen. And she "educates" him on how to act like a proper lad. That's what Trump seems to be missing: his parents didn't discipline him enough.
Also...I don't think something like "Brexit" should have been in the hands of commoners. It should have been up to scientists, economists, legal experts, and perhaps medical professionals to determine the impact of staying or leaving the EU.
I studied economics in college and in my personal time and even I think I'm virtually an economic layman especially when it comes to something as big as the Brexit question. Why should the average British citizen get the opportunity to determine something like this? Hell, even some economists, by profession, might confess to a limited understanding of a Brexit impact.
I don't like the ignorant making decisions on things that requires a professional education with professional experience to understand to make an informed decision.
