Here's why 52% of British voted to leave

99. My opinion is it's a stressful time in Europe and political profiteering

is a poor substitute for the muddling through and hard work that is always preferable to blowing things up without a plan.

But it is done. A positive outcome for the EU would be to reform itself, but that's not the real problem here. There is much about the EU that people actually enjoy and have come to take for granted. People will see that when firms bolt Britain, when the price of many things rise such as airfares, international cellphone use or a wide range of other multi-jurisdictional activities. I have friends in the trade show business in London who are shitting themselves over the prospect of higher freight costs and longer exhibitor shipping times for every major event they do.

Without a raging refugee crisis none of this would have happened. On a surface level, the Brits are the biggest pissers and moaners on the planet. It's never just raining, it's pissing rain. People don't have disagreements, they have massive rows. Exaggeration is sport; that's how they blow off steam and it works for them. But too many have obviously lost their way over immigration and they're not alone. In order to avoid further such cock-ups, the flow of political refugees into Europe has to be reduced to a fraction of its present levels or Brexit will be just the first chapter in a long tale of woe.
