Brexit....On The Horizon?

[schmidlap]

In times like these, when so many Americans have made the terrible mistake of putting an undeserving individual in the White House...when Leftism is the most dynamic of religions, and collectivism seems unstoppable.....

...one looks for small examples of good things to come.....


And Brexit may be just that.


1. Brexit.....a blend of the words 'British' and 'exit' which refers to the possibility of Great Britain leaving the European Union. British Prime Minister David Cameron has raised the possibility of a 'Brexit', a British exit from the European Union.

Leftist shudder at the thought!

2. ....Britons could well decide to exit the European Union, we judge by the London Financial Times’ first editorial column of the year. It offers what it calls “the hard-headed case for the UK to stay in the EU.” That’s not a new demarche for the FT. It has been rattling on about this for years. But we detect a note of nervousness in its latest leader.

3. “If all goes to plan,” it says — before quickly adding “and there is always a possibility it will not” — the prime minister “will complete within months” negotiating terms of Britain’s relationship with Brussels. The FT reckons that would “open the way for an In-Out referendum.”
4. ....Mr. Cameron has “given every indication that he wants to stay in a ‘reformed’ union.” But it concedes that there is “no guarantee he will win” and reports that “it is already evident that the campaign will expose deep divisions among the ruling Tories.”

5. Where is the GOP???
I have suggested that the Republican Party should exchange it's mascot, the elephant, for the capon: there is no conservative element in the party as it is now configured.....Yet not a single Republican candidate has marked this point. Where is Donald Trump? Where are Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, or Chris Christie?

6. "...not a single American leader is offering to our long-time ally some balm of hope in its Euro-crisis. Not a single politician has sought to illuminate a countervailing future for Britain than to spend the next century trying to protect the few shreds of sovereignty that will be left to it by a decision to stick with the European Union.


7. Simple enough to see what the Republicans should do...look at Obama and do the opposite:
".... Obama has gone so far as to warn that were Britain to vote for the Brexit — as secession from the EU is called — it would lose clout not in just in Brussels but in Washington. What un-presidential petulance.

8. Does anyone really think that the value of Britain to America is its ability — or, to be more accurate, inability — to temper the socialists in Brussels? What an insult to our fastest friend across the pond.

9. In our estimation it would be far better for both of us were Britain to leave Europe and a stronger, closer alliance struck between it and America.




10. We’ve been making this point for some time. Now the clock is ticking, as the Financial Times is marking this weekend. ....Can it possibly be that there is unanimity between the Republican field and President Obama and Mrs. Clinton on the subject of Europe?"

As expected and predicted, Brexit has been a resounding disaster.

Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll

Only 18% of leave voters think Brexit has been a success, poll finds​

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK leaving the EU single market and customs union.​

​

​

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has benefited them or the country.​

Just one in 10 believe leaving the EU has helped their personal financial situation, against 35% who say it has been bad for their finances, while just 9% say it has been good for the NHS, against 47% who say it has had a negative effect.​

​

​

​

The EU had eliminated the bureaucratic burden that Brexit has resurrected and compounded.

"....a June 23 date has finally been set for the momentous "in or out" British vote on whether to abandon the 28-nation European Union.

Prime Minister David Cameron vowed Saturday to lead the charge to keep Britain part of the EU, winning the backing of most of his Cabinet and support for his "stay in" goal from political heavyweights in rival parties, including the opposition Labour Party and the Scottish National Party.

....to give British voters a chance to decide whether to remain in the bloc, which is seen by some Britons as meddlesome, overly bureaucratic, and unable to control its borders.


The referendum battle pits those who believe Britain is better off in a formal union with Germany, France and other countries against those who see Britain as a proud island nation better capable of managing its affairs on its own."
News from The Associated Press



This battle will be ours, one day.

Despite the ideological fanaticism, Brexit has been a colossal failure.

Brexit Britain has 'significantly underperformed' other advanced economies,

Brexit for Britain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!

out of the Globalist control!!!!

go Britain go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brits screwed themselves. Is it too late?

...[T]the side that won the civil war ultimately lost. King Charles I was executed in 1649. Eleven years later, the English decided they had made a mistake and restored the monarchy. Could a similar reversal happen with Brexit? I think so. Seven years after the 2016 referendum, and three years after Brexit actually happened, opinion has shifted markedly. As the academic Matthew Goodwin wrote recently, some 60 per cent of Britons now think Brexit was the wrong decision and would vote to rejoin the EU at a second referendum. An average of recent polls shows 58 per cent of voters not only regretting Brexit, but actively favouring Rejoin. It is easy to understand why. Brexit was sold as a way of controlling immigration and improving the NHS. But the NHS is now in far worse shape than it was in 2016. Immigration into the UK remains very high, with EU immigrants largely replaced by people from outside the bloc. And the IMF predicts that Britain will have the worst performing economy in the developed world this year. Demographics and economics suggest that the Rejoin sentiment will strengthen over time. Young voters are the most pro-EU of the lot, with 79 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds wanting to rejoin. And, sadly, the damage done to the UK economy by Brexit is likely to become increasingly evident.​
