Big winner:

POPULIST POLITICIANS. Donald Trump wasted no time in hailing Brexit as a "great victory," claiming it proved the potency of his anti-immigration message. Nationalist politicians in Europe also made hay; France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen decked out her Twitter page in Union Jack flags and called for a French referendum with the slogan "From Brexit to Frexit." Her Front National party printed Brexit posters showed hands breaking free from chains, with the caption "Now it's France's turn."
