Referenda are
usually a good policy for the population to vote whether they want something
or not. However, not in this case. The bare majority of Britain voted for the
United Kingdom to leave the European Parliament and so the Brexit is about to
take place in the next few years. It seems that
some important facts (or even countries) were not taken into consideration
during the Referendum, for instance Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Scotland and Northern Ireland are suffering now, even though the large majority of the people in
those countries voted against the Brexit. This proves
that certain matters should not be generalized in a Referendum. Badly affected
by the results, the Scottish and Northern Irish are desperate to find a way out
of this mess and hopefully they will find their way out of it.
One fact that can
clearly be said is that most of the people who wanted to remain in the E.U.
were those of the younger generation. The older generation voted to leave. It
is disturbing and sad to see that the younger have to carry this load on their
shoulders. They and all of United Kingdom have to live with the decision until
the next referendum, in perhaps 20 years.
