United Kingdom scripted a new chapter for itself when it opted to move away from European Union in a referendum that has divided the British society in the middle. Seen as a vote against what was termed as Brussels bureaucracy, ordinary Britons chose to vote for what they called Independent United Kingdom. There had been a rising discomfort and trepidation over mass migration and also Britain's gradual loss of stature.
The #leave campaign rested on Britain First slogan and revolved around British identity with Nigel Farage leading the charge. The campaign on both sides was vicious, charged and polarizing. Both sides delved into equal amount of scaremongering to get their point across. Ultimately British elite had thought that Remain will prevail and known will truimph over unknown. They were proven wrong when ordinary Britons chose to chart their own destiny away from EU.
Markets as expected have crashed, economic instability is expected to continue as Pound will continue to tumble.
Brexit claimed its first victim in David Cameron, big proponent of staying with EU, who announced that he would soon step down accepting the popular vote. The question is who will replace him- Will it be the previous mayor of London Boris Johnson or someone else?
Is this a vote against rapid globalization and mass migration of refugees? Will EU carry the same clout? Will Britain become Great again. These questions will be answered with time.
