Apples are not Oranges

Dominique Moisi, of the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI) said the Brexit earthquake was a dark moment in Europe's history, comparing it unfavourably to the fall of communism."Remember Star Wars: there is the light side and the dark side of the force. The light side was the fall of the Berlin Wall. The dark side is Brexit."

I believe it's the best outcome and not as the FRI has stated.  

The trouble with politicians is, THEY DO NOT KNOW what's going on for the average family.  THEY are not affected at all since they are mostly swimming in extra money.

I have British friends, who voted to LEAVE.  I support their decision because, Britain was another super power not just in terms of their Military, but as a successful economy boasting of good investment properties AND good University education.

That was the Britain I grew up with.

When I became an adult, all I saw was a weak Britain.  She lost her marbles over the decades.  The pound was super.

Of course, in the immediate aftermath, the world will see the pound shrinking - uncertainty looming - because they have to start over.

I feel, it's better to start over than be a mule, especially when you don't have to be.  Starting over means, going back to basics.  That means - taking care of the British people first.

After all, before dreaming big, don't you think it's only correct to take care of the home first? Charity begins at home.

I understand the world is trying to unite.  Hey, isn't that building a huge communist ideal based on democracy?  This herding mentality failed for the communist and it will fail for the democracy as well.  Such formulas don't work.  

It's ok to wager trade deals - in fact, its to be done.  BUT as a herd, you don't get to wager what's best for you, mostly you make do.

I'm not socio-political scientiest or anyone whose opinion the world at large would count as important.  BUT insofar as the world stage is concerned, I have been spot on.

The entire world has adopted the attitude of RIGHTS and more RIGHTS for 'others'.  WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO VOTE?  WHAT ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS?

What about their right to live and compete for jobs fairly?  We all know that illegals tend to charge far less which translates to savings for the hirer.  We also know that if immigrants want to get PR, they should apply like everyone else.

It's strange how people want to live somewhere but don't want to follow the rules there - basic of which is to pay taxes.  How is that fair to the tax payers?

I strongly disagree with this FRI chap.

The demolition of the Berlin wall is to unite Germany.  Since when was the EU a sole nation?  It's an amalgamation of nations.  You cannot compare apples to oranges because they are not the same.

Unless the EU is headed by ONE PM, ONE GOVERNMENT, the comparision is an inaccurate representation of the real issue.
