Abstract – Despite the unpopularity, Donald Trump won the US elections. Instead of blaming the electors, we ought seriously to consider the reasons behind their choice. The loss of control by elites show us how they are no longer able to understand actual people’s needs and the impact of the economic crisis. Trump, and Brexit as well, seemed to be impossible, but it happened. We have to take seriously any possible future change, because, nowadays, nothing can be taken for granted, neither our representative democracy.
Keywords – Economic and political crisis, EU, Brexit, capitalism.
