What has happened has happened and can’t be undone …
The British people have defied their prominent leaders by opting to walk out of the group.
If regrexiteers were to vote again, it seems as though the results will be the opposite. But it’s safe to assume that won’t happen …
Tough times are expected ahead in the foreseeable future as we can anticipate both prices and taxes to rise.
Many multinationals are already considering moving their headquarters to the mainland – which means loss of jobs and revenue.
Tighter customs and regulations will definitely hamper mobility of people and goods – and consequently, socioeconomic activities. If I ship a box to one of our offices in the mainland today, I can expect it to be delivered as early as tomorrow. But after #Brexit, who knows!
Politically, the far right has gained a lot of confidence and will likely increase its share of representation in the parliament in the next election – which is still a couple of years away though. And that’s not a good sign in a liberal society.
Scotland is disappointed. Despite having voted massively in favor of Remain, it has to live with the results. This is inviting further exacerbation in the island as there are already news of the Scottish seeking another referendum for independence.
The sterling has been badly hit – reaching its lowest in 30 years. That’s good news if you are planning to visit the UK from abroad but not quite so for those who get paid in pounds. ЁЯЩВ
#Brexit will impact social peace to some extent. Current Euro partnership enables real-time exchange of intelligence between nations – and UK has successfully curbed violence and terrorist attacks on its soil time and again. In light of IS threat and repeated terrorist attacks across Europe, this, however, will be too paramount an issue to be dealt just like another one in the list. We can expect both sides to find ways to continue this relationship, albeit with added restrictions.
Hence UK has a long long road of economic overhaul to walk and tens of thousands of pages of its laws to amend.
But not everything is as grim as it sounds.
As the exit makes UK less attractive for the EU citizens (compared to now), more influx of people (and money) can be expected from the rest of the world – mainly from the far east. Not that regulations will be loose for non-EU regions, but new policies will most probably be more equal for all as opposed to now.
The UK currently pays more to the EU than it receives anyway. So, there’s going to be some surplus there (hopefully).
The UK will be more secure, will enjoy higher level of sovereignty, and will find itself in a better position in the world arena. Additionally, wages will rise and there’s better future for everyone. That’s what pro-Brexiters say; who am I to disagree? …
With rumors of similar referendums in Sweden, the Netherlands, and some more, it could be that the United States of Europe is about to fall apart.
That being said, whatever the mindset and emotion across the continent at any given time, no one can alter geography and neighbours will always be neighbours whether they like it or not. They will find ways to co-exist and move on; history has proved so.
My two cents. Or pence or paisas or yens or whatever currency you use ЁЯША ! Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
