Who exactly are these elites and what are their defining characteristics? A good way of finding out about this group is to look at the adjectives typically used to describe them. The most common include smug, trendy, liberal, patronizing and of course politically correct. But the outright winner in terms of frequency has to be sneering.

Elites is a label that is given to people who don't think the way Conservatives do, and therefore there must something weird about them. But it’s a delusion. The whole "elite” schtick, which seems to have a range of mutually exclusive definitions, is just a lazy substitute for thinking, and a convenient way of marginalizing anyone who doesn't agree with Conservatives.

Heaven forbid we have people with knowledge advising out politicians.
