I do not agree with your view.

You state that "the establishment believes they, and only they, represent the true will of the people."

Nope. Not true.

Whether it is small scale establishment (the editors at the university student newspaper, the PhD president of the campus Marxist club), medium scale establishment (the editors of the CBC and the Star, the columnists who are card-carrying members of the Council of Canadians), or large scale establishment (Justin Trudeau and his Cabinet)...

... VERY FEW of the those people believe they represent the will of the people.

To the contrary, most of them are of a social engineering mindset, and see it as their duty to re-engineer and re-cast society away from what they see as its popular but barbaric attributes, to get it in line with an order that suits their tastes - and that, they know, will take some work to get swallowed by the lay masses beneath their plane of higher existence.

They represent only the will of their own orthodoxy.
