Yanis, I think your analysis of Brexit is wrong and few people who are not British would understand the British logic.



Yes, migration played a part in the decision, largely because the UK a small over crowded island had over 4 million Europeans move in to the UK over a very short period of time, forcing massive social pressures and changes to our way of life, many felt the British were not consulted on these large numbers and our home was effectively being invaded. The consequence of massive inward migration was mushrooming house prices, and huge competition for jobs and education even Health service and frankly the British were fed up with becoming a second class citizen in their own country, at the end of the queue for services they hard largely paid for. Secondly, the true nature of the EU. The lies about it not becoming a US of Europe were becoming increasingly apparent, and the idiot Verhofstadt and his irrational dreams put paid to any pretence that the EU was simply a trading bloc. British trade by the way nose dived since our membership of the EU and many British firms were snapped up by Germany, meanwhile fish, fruit and other key sectors were negotiated out of our control, yet our payments and costs were forever ratcheted skyward.



Thirdly the disgusting behaviour of the EU regarding Greece, allowed us to see the true nature of the entity, a German/French cabal making sure they stayed out of harms way while the Greeks suffered, your negotiations showed many of us you were negotiating with the devil and we wanted out when the mask of the EU slipped.



The other reasons are clear to see, sovereignty, freedom, democratic accountability, control over our borders, control over our laws. "Taking Back Control". That was a campaign slogan and a truism (as it can be in a capitalist system). In the end the EU never had the consent of the British people to make us slaves to the EU, we never voted on it, we never agreed to it, and in the final analysis the politicians who forced us into an EU were brought up sharp. The British people have fought and defended their independence, we have a God given right to assert that independence and in Boris Johnson, and at the behest of the British people, we used our democracy to reaffirm our decision to leave the EU.



There was no quiet whimpering at that decision, it was a bold, firm restatement of the 2016 Referendum, the UK wanted out and were prepared to swap parties (if necessary) to make that wish a reality.



Europe and the EU should look at the British decision as a triumph of democracy over autocratic domination. The free people of Britain rejected Barnier, Verhofstadt, Tusk, and all the rest of the left wing failed politicians who wanted to enslave the Europeans into a ponzy scheme with only one way advantages for Germany and France.



This is what happens when unelected people are in control of the levers of power, self interest, nepotism, corruption and greed take over...twas ever thus. The British have simply said no, enough is enough, we are out. That's all Yanis, nothing accidental, no regrets just relief!
