Brexit vote shows anger at EU, claim TDs

The Brexit vote represents the anger which many people feel towards the EU, left-wing politicians here have said. 

The Anti-Austerity Alliance/ People Before Profit (AAA-PBP) which had supported a leave vote in the referendum said the Brexit result was a “kick in the teeth” for the European Commission.

AAA-PBP TD Paul Murphy said the vote to leave was proof of the “increasingly massive disconnect” between EU institutions and the general population. Ruth Coppinger said in the lead up to the vote the arguments made by the left were not heard but said they would be heard now.
