THE RESULTS OF BRITISH EU Referendum

No real Surprises in Britsh EU referendum

This was a completely expected result,in my view. Why? Because great part of the population here believes in the myth that EU was controlling their country... 
And that almost all problems in their society and lives were directly linked with EU "impositions"(jobs,immigration,foreigners etc).  Even that their sovereignty was under threat.. An inconceivable idea that can just be understood in the context of how much British politics and government have been using this idea for their own "profit", agendas...    
Traditionally 
UK has always been the less pro EU country in Europe. Generally defending interests that affect their own industry in favor of certain foreigner lobbies in areas like environment,agricultural production (including GMos). Obviously this is the side that the majority of people in UK don't get to know or accept. Besides that a popular press with titles like "daily mail" have  been doing a harmful and constant propaganda against EU and foreigner people (making generalizations from particular cases). Creating the type of messages that explores the fears and stimulates the most negative feelings in people ( the same line that benefits the extreme right parties in all Europe,and others like Fn in France with Marie le Pen, or UKip in Uk). In times of crisis people can easily buy and believe in these ideas because they are so simple and seem to offer a straight explanation.
I was gobsmacked when PM David Cameron proposed the referendum and started to campaign for the remain,because in fact he has never been pro Europe... Probably the broken situation in his party and the feeling that there was nothing to loose once that everything was lost already (regarding the possibility of himself being elected again) made him go ahead. The timing for the campaign was really bad (for UK and EU),if we take in account the historical circumstances.
There is even the possibility that this referendum was intentionally set up for failure if we take in account how short was the preparation and how bad the campaign was done,without almost no focus in the positive aspects of EU membership. The general public was not informed for example how much farms,education,industries and cultural initiatives in UK have already benefitted from EU.

European referendumt in the U.K. ... No great surprises here in my point of view... In ten years living in this country never ever  heard a word of good about of Europe




Sadly the British public has been completely fooled regarding the role of EU and influence in their country.  In fact EU produced a body of regulations and laws that protects more British citizens (regarding human, labour rights and environment ) than their own government.  That doesn't mean that the government is following or applying them... but at least a citizen or a organisation has always another option if is victim or object of injustice.  And that will be obviously gone if the decision to leave is the one followed by UK.
 A publication like "daily mail" has been doing a constant negative propaganda about European Community, and for many people that is unfortunately their only source of "information" regarding this issue. There usually specific cases are used to make generalisations,what is manipulative and dangerous at various levels. Incentivising and feeding feelings of discrimination towards some groups of our society.

This is a very important time in the History of Europe and World... a time to work together and to look for solutions. Western countries should and need to take action, regarding the humanitarian crisis of refugees and migrants. Specially the countries that were involved in wars in the middle East..., and went there more motivated by economic interests (the control of prices of oil and access to resources,fossil fuel..) than effectively democracy or justice. Besides all the complaints,UK is the country who has taken less refugees ( from the group of leading economies in Europe).

The timing for a referendum about Europen membership is bad and irresponsible... For several years people here UK have been brainwashed by popular press against EU... Instigating fear and hatred feelings. What is really easy to explore and pent up in times of economic and social perceived crisis. When in reality citizens need to be aware of responsibilities and actions of their own government. Many times the British position in EU has been of "resistance" and lobbying for interests that don't benefit their own citizens or economy... favouring for example GMOs and an easy entry of agricultural production of USA in the European market. Uk also disagreed with majority of countries in EU, regarding a regulation that would protect european industry and production.   What would be pertinent with situations like the cheap subsidised steel,and solar panels from China...
 Instead British government has campaigned there in a way that damages the  chances of survival of their own industries like for example British steel industry...

Uk is one of the most important economies of EU and could have had a decisive and even leading role in the process of development of EU, if really was committed to it, instead of looking for the interests of a few private corporations.  And ironically if Uk leaves the EU the identity and sovereignty  of the country will  more under threat, because the government will tend look and establish deals with countries like China and USA in a way that essentially will benefit the interests of a little group and not the national production,companies, or citizens.  Obviously at that time there wouldn't be in place norms to protect British people or companies. Once that norms from EU are "no more in the way"...

There is no doubt that economically the impact of leaving EU will be negative for both sides.
Also important to remember is that almost every sector of activity from UK till here received funds from EU,for various initiatives. Special attention to agriculture and education. Saying this because till now never heard in the various arguments and propaganda a unique reference about this.
 Several institutions for example offered free formations under these programs. And amazingly the campaign to remain rarely said something about this.

Obviously no organisation is perfect,and the fact that EU got together so many countries is in itself a feat.
