There's a view that Trump is but a big "fk you" towards the liberal elite that has drifted too far from the blue-collar folks they have failed to support in dire times. The UK situation would seem to be similar. Thus the key question is "did the elite get the message and can/will they do anything about it?" If yes, the society will go back to normal. If no, the rift widens further as the society is divided into radical camps. Which, by the way, would suit the neo-russian message of "the west is doomed, we are the saviour" message very well.

What can be done about it? Rich people funnel money into making poor people fight amongst themselves, poor working people blame people who get money from the government, and immigrants who are willing to have a lower standard of living, to vote for conservative governments, and the immigrants and unemployed to vote for liberal governments, instead of joining together and getting rid of the rich people taking all the money in the first place.
