Brexit

You have certainly heard of the "Brexit" by now. The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union and in turn, the people gave the elites a giant slap in the face. 

Virtually every elitist from the conservative Tory leader (and current Prime Minster) David Cameron to the former Labour Prime Minster Tony Blair was in favor of staying in the European Union. Cameron announced his resignation the day after the election results and he had no choice. He campaigned hard to remain in the European Union and even though the vote was close he really had no choice but to resign. 

I'm ethnically English even though I have an Irish last name. The first question I asked my biological mother when I met her was "What nationality am I?" It's uncouth to even notice that in 2016, but I don't care. It's still interesting to me. While I don't claim to be an expert, I do pay attention to politics in general because it effects all of us and I pay attention to what happens in the United Kingdom. Last year when they had the Scottish referendum I watched the campaign and results around the clock. 

I think the European Union is a bureaucratic disaster that takes political power away from the local countries and puts in Brussels. Margaret Thatcher said something along those lines during her last speech in the house of Commons as Prime Minster. I recommend watching it on Youtube. It's a dynamic defense for the free market and against socialism. It can be viewed here.|

This one is for you Maggie!
