Brexit is the stupidest idea I've seen yet. Brexit is an idea that the EU are shackling the UK and they want more independence, an idea that was pushed by UKIP (the UK Independence Party) who are mostly a bunch of racist, anti-immigrant pr*cks, who want to see Britain independent from the EU for completely ill-thought out reasons.
Currently the EU provides the UK with relative financial stability, and vice versa. The UK doesn't agree with all the EU's regulations, but at least the EU does help them out in numerous ways and serves as a very good means of trading with other countries in Europe.
Yes, the EU isn't doing that well at the moment, but really it's doing well considering the circumstances of the world at the moment.
If Britain leaves, they'd be throwing all the economic stability they currently have right out of the window...
Firstly, and most obvious, the amount of foreign trading would dramatically decrease.
Economies would start to suffer significantly both in the UK and outside in European countries. Ireland's trades with the UK would drop by 20% and us Irish would be f*cked.
If they leave, Europe would become poorer.
Without Britain's involvement, Germany would become more powerful again, and the EU would likely start to strip away more personal freedoms and become a much more security based place with Angela Merkel with more power. Refugees would be treated even more like sh*t as a result.
Also, t
he EU would lose a lot of it's military might which has kept other countries at bay. Russia might even try to take advantage of that and invade eastern Europe.
Britain may suffer further issues with another Scottish independence movement and after that
the UK would be no more, losing it's once powerful hold on the world's politics, leaving open the way for some pretty nasty superpowers to take advantage of the power vacuum, whether they be America or Russia.
Also, people are voting to leave on the basis that the EU is no longer democratic. I do agree with them there, but I don't think that leaving them is the best way to go out. I think really
we need to reform the EU, not leave it.
Overall the benefits of staying in the EU for Britain at the moment aren't so good, however the consequences of leaving might be far more catastrophic!
I don't usually swear on these things as much, but for f*ck sake Britain, stay in the EU! Do the smart thing! Do the right thing! DON'T LEAVE THE EU!!!!
