Geoff, You till did not define the nature of "being against the status quo". 
But perhaps you could clarify this issue 
Why are people of France angry? Why are people of the UK angry a the EU? Why are people in the US angry at their "establishment?'
Is it because the "status quo" creates an intolerable situation of 
unrestricted immigration, neoliberal austerity programs that  impoverish people, enforced political correctness, brazen globalization that enriches only a few. a dictatorial power of unelected bureaucrats of the EU, 
and relentless propaganda to assert that "this is democracy".
