Pressly: UK cuts out Europe the Brexit way – a Win for Democracy
While Donwald Pressly doesn’t glot (as others may) in his latest contribution, it must be said, and I quote: “I see Cameron being ousted by Boris Johnson in a superb play of power capture”. And since this insight the world has seen the unlikelihood of Brexit, as well as David Cameron handing in his resignation. But Pressly looks at what the Brexit vote means to the United Kingdom, and the world. And while the reasons for he event will be deliberated all through the weekend in pubs across the world, what cannot be negotiated is it’s a win for Democracy. Not the end of ‘Big Government’ but surely a warning shot. – Stuart Lowman

During a bout of bad weather in the English channel, one British commentator reported that “Europe has been cut off”. Some may view the Brexit vote as an expression of Britain shutting out Europe. As I can count myself in as one of those who predicted the Brexit outcome, I do not believe that the referendum result can be reduced to an expression of anti-immigrant – in particular, anti-Syrian – xenophobia. The vote on Europe was far more about a foreign administration in Brussels having too much power over the commercial and trading affairs of the United Kingdom.
