He did it, the mad bastard finally did it. After twenty years of trying to get out of the EU, Nigel Farage finally gave the UK its own independence day, even in spite of the lies and slander of the remain campaign. This is a huge moment for Western history because this is the day that the little people of Britain told the world that they want their country back. They've told the global elite of the EU, that they will not decide Britain's future for them. And in the days following we've seen this sentiment echoed by the people of Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy and Denmark who are all ready to reject the political establishment.
An establishment that's proven itself to be anti-democracy so many times over. This is an organization that forces its member nations to vote a second time when they initially choose to reject EU mandates. Even Jean Claude Juncker has said that "there can be no democratic choice against the European Treaties". To re-frame this whole situation for all of those who were looking on in disbelief about Brexit, the British people were essentially voting on whether or not they should be able to vote. If that sounds ridiculous to you, it really is that ridiculous, seeing how EU law and EU courts override UK laws and courts, which has massively hindered the UK's battle with terrorism and extremism. With that in mind does it not seem a tad ironic to have 48% of people saying they don't want to vote, and went to the polling station in the hopes of imposing their will on the people who like to have control over their own country. My my the world of politics has gotten interesting in recent years hasn't it. Never in a million years would I expect to see the party of the ordinary working man (Labor party) be so openly hostile to the interests of ordinary working people, but these are interesting times indeed.
Its been even more entertaining to see the millennials reactions to Brexit, with Uni students out in the streets protesting against democracy, and praising the European superstate, in a display not unlike the Hitler youth rallies. I can understand where this comes from however. They were born into this, this is all they know and leaving the EU has produced some incredible uncertainty among British millennials. However when you are forced to choose between an uncertain future, and a future that is undeniably only going to get worse, I'd think its wiser to choose the uncertain future, but that's the kind of wisdom I've found to be lacking in my generation. From everything I've seen, the only difference being independent is going to make is that it will be slightly harder to live and travel on the continent. That and the currency will be slightly devalued in the short term, which may ultimately be a good thing since that makes the UK a more appealing travel spot, which in turn helps the economy recover.
Brexit is nothing short of a full on revolt against the ruling classes of Europe. It represents the triumph of the ideals of sovereignty and democracy over pragmatism, and the rest of the world will soon follow suite. We're about to witness one of the greatest uprisings in history in the coming months, and for better or for worse, I will gladly welcome it.
