Why Americans Should Celebrate The Brexit Vote

The momentous victory for the Brexit campaign signals a new era of freedom for the British people.

After more than four decades of being shackled to the European Union (previously the European Economic Community), Great Britain has declared its independence.

The vote for Brexit is a vote for sovereignty and self-determination. Britain will no longer be subject to European legislation, with Britain’s Parliament retaking control. British judges will no longer be overruled by the European Court of Justice, and British businesses will be liberated from mountains of EU regulations, which have undermined economic liberty.

Markets have their own rationale for many things. A wise investor would take advantage of the Pounds temporary drop and buy up in anticipation for its resurgence, which will come. British Futures will be a good investment.

Generally the markets do not like uncertainty.

[Cboldt]

It takes the phony gun control debate out of the picture, for one thing.

"The market what the heck is Amrita IPad?!?"

Your iPad has good taste ..

Or in other words, one of the world’s most important banking centers just took a giant step away from globalism.

[cymbeline]

Some backing away from globalization by individual countries is an overall good thing. If America makes its own cars, they might cost a little more than if they came from afar, but our people are making them, our money is not flowing away from us, and we aren’t vulnerable to pressures from foreign automakers and foreign economies.

The world will be a less efficient but more stable machine.

It will also keep George Soros REALLY, REALLY BUSY for the foreseeable future, so he’ll have less time to monkey with OUR politics.

So much for “One World Government”, the Brits have it figured out.

I'm ecstatic over this. I changed my FB profile to the Union Jack and aside from my two Brit friends, appear to be the only one celebrating this around here. Sad as it really is something to be celebrated. God save the Queen!

[Cronos]

how exactly is that? The refugee problem never hit the UK at all — they don’t belong to the Schengen and refused to take in any of the “refugees” — hence the large camps in Calais

[Moonman62]

So wouldn’t the markets welcome this news?

...

Large investors hate change and uncertainty. Many will be forced to sell some assets and buy others, even when the change in the long run is good. There’s also the saying that many people have to sell, whereas buyers can always wait. Thus, when there is an extra incentive to sell, prices tend to drop.

Also criminal behavior, fraud and bad policy tends to get covered up by years of the status quo. Change on such a large scale tends to uncover those things just as it did back with the housing crisis.

Great Brits

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The grievances were obvious. The didn't have to list them or fire a single shot.

[Cronos]

why exactly is this a good news for Conservatism? The UK already has one of the highest % of workforce working for the government in the EU at 26% - nearly at Swedish (30%) levels but below France and Germany (at around 15%)

[Cronos]

They do have representation in both the EU Council (the national leaders council) and in the EU parliament (the head of the UKIP Nigel Farage is an MEP - member of the EUropean Parliament)

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Didn’t the SOUTH have a similar vote in 1861? Self Determination?
Will Britain be attacked to “Preserve” the EUnion?

[Cronos]

Economically this is bad, very bad - for England, the UK, the EU and the global economy:

• For England, Scotland will break up, financial services will move to Singapore/HK/Dubai or to Frankfurst, manufacturing will tank or stagnate as it is part of the Europe supply chain that relies on border free movement of goods with no tariffs (like an item that is assembled in New Jersey out of parts from Texas, Kentucky and Georgia and Michigan)
• For the UK as it ceases to exist with Scotland going its own way and probably NI and Wales too
• For EU as it loses a sophisticated economy and that declines, affecting everyone. Also the UK brought a good number of changes to the EU, pushign it towards more market-friendliness
• For the world, an extension of this, plus a weaker EU

[Enchante]

Really, let’s be inspired by our Brit cousins kicking the globalist donkey in the teeth!

The Brexit sets a political precedent that will make it much more difficult for Uniparty to create their North American Union. The British don't appreciate having their sovereignty violated by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, nor will Americans appreciate having our laws changed to accommodate the agendas of Mexico or Central American countries.

I wholeheartedly salute the Brits on their choice.
