Not patronising at all. Absolutely not.

I am watching Matthew Elliott, guru and leader of the NO campaign, make his victory speech. On the other screen, at BBC News, there's this:

20:41 - Elections expert Prof John Curtice says the No campaign has apparently won the referendum by securing the support of older people, Conservatives and those who have not enjoyed a university education.
Spoken like a true BBC expert.

So, well done to Matthew Elliott and his team for gaining the endorsement of the despised British public, apparently comprising the senile, the eeevil Tories and the contemptibly thick (should they even vote?) in nearly all the hundreds of voting areas across the entire United Kingdom, failing only to win over a couple of university towns and a few (but not even all) inner-city republiques-manqués.

Tsk. Fucking voters. What are they like? Politics would be so much more enlightened and - frankly - sound if only one could ignore them completely.

    How is that different from what we have?
