By voting to leave the European Union, the British people have retaken control of their destiny from an out-of-touch collection of elites who had presided over one disaster after another, and that were anxious to see Britain lose its status as an independent country — something the British have not only cherished, but have often fought to preserve. By doing so, they have not only regained their own freedom, but have sent an important message to elites and Establishment leaders everywhere — including the United States.
Democracy is meaningless without independence. Middle-schoolers may get to vote for class president — and may care deeply about the outcome — but ultimately, those votes don't have much of an effect on school policy. Similarly, when a country isn't independent, the real power lies beyond the ability of the voters to reach. They can vote and vote — but they can't force a significant change in policy.
This was the problem that voters in Britain faced yesterday. They still had a parliament, and elections, just as they had done for centuries. But more and more, real decision-making power was leaving Britain, and going to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels — bureaucrats who were often indifferent, or even hostile, to the desires of the British people.

The British People have voted to take back their country. Congratulations to them for having the courage to do so. Now they need to hold Parliament’s feet to the fire.
A lot like what's going on here w/EPA.
We are not far behind.
If France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Hungary pack up a leave it’s over
Charles Payne says that Spain goes to the polls on Sunday!! Does anyone here know what he’s talking about? Are they voting for independence from the EU? He mentioned something about the movement? He was not specific though.
They have slowed the downward spiral for now ...

I have a friend in the UK, who lives in the English Midlands. He is a life long Conservative, who has worked for his party as a fund raiser, canvasser, etc. He told me recently that he was supporting and working hard for the Brexit “ Leave “ position. He lamented that he was so disappointed in his Party due to their official position to “ Remain “ in the EU, he would have left and joined another Party Leave had lost. He felt betrayed by his Prime Minister and elected party officials on the issues of immigration, border control, National sovereignty and their Culture. Sound familiar, like a Donald Trump speech?
Obviously millions of British agree with him.Not only Britain but Europeans generally. They/We have had it with government by Political Correctness. Good for them. I hope we have the intelligence and guts to act as they did this November, and give America another chance. Maybe we could start by sending Hilary; haircut, pants suit, and cackle to the Slammer.
Brexit is driving the world’s totalitarian communists crazy. That includes Soros, et al, and many in Washington.
