Brexit, proud and business


Who is going to win the struggle between proud and business about Brexit in UK?
Proud pushes for leaving  but money and business hint for remaining.
I understand the reasons of the proud leavers: I've been a proud citizen of the Roman empire, thousands of years ago; but I can also see the reasons of the business men  who are threathening to move their firms abroad if the PM May insists on her no deal project.
I've already expressed  in this blog my point of view on Brexit: I respect the will of British people and I won't cease to be fond of their culture even if they leave EU.
Nevertheless I want clearly make evdence of my desire to see UK stay in Europe, in the European Union, in order to struggle together to improve the Union, to face the giants of the old and the new economy raising their shadows to overwhelm and rule the world (I mean USA, Russia, together with China, India, Brazil and others).
Furthermore I want to add something which is subject of debate in all the so called domocratic Country, specially after the Cambridge Analycta's scandal and the Russiagate.
In western democracies,  as an historic  achievement,  we have obtained the equality in politic elections: that means, one man, one vote.
But some acute observers started criticizing this equality in the following terms: too many people are heavily impressionable and even manipulable; because of that  they go to the polls  without understanding very well what they are voting for .
It seems that this is what happened in the Trump's election in USA and even in the june 2016 election for Brexit.
These arguments are very dangerous, for they risk to threat the basis of our democracy, as a result for a millennial struggle for equality.
This not less the argument deserves a deep meditation on how fragile can be our democracy and how much we need, from one hand very strict rules on social network and mass media; from another hand how much is important to form a political, leading  class  capable to face the strong powers and represent strongly and kindly rule the poor people.

To Brexit or not to Brexit - 2


I want to spend a few words in favour of British people, whatever might be the decision on Brexit (it seems yes, since now, but you never know).
That's a decision who is up on British governement and I'll respect it, whatever it might be.
British people are good people. I know English people more than Irish and more than Scottish, even more than Welsh people. And I'm sure that English people are good people.
If some of them have thought to go out of European Union they might have good reasons.
British people are not selfish people; but they are not silly nor stupid.
May be they are simply fed up with this kind of European Union. And so am I.
Of course I would be glad if Great Britain would stay with us to fight against European burocracy in order to change EU.
I still remain a believer in European Union, I mean in the Union of all European people to be happier and whealthier together. I feel all the European people are brothers and they must increase this brotherhood creating a common market, a common governement and sharing a unique flag without renouncing to their peculiarity and their identity.
I dream of the United State of Europe with the United Kingdom, that means with English, Welsh, Scottish and irish people.
I have this dream and I'm not going to give it up.

Brexit


The referendum which will ask all British people to express if they want to stay in the European Union or not has been called by Premier  D. Cameron for June 23rd (it will be on a thursday).
The voters have to say if on their opinion is better for UK to proceed on Its own through the enigmatic and crucial challenges  this epoch of globalisation is putting forward the western states, specially the more advanced and reachest, including the mass of poor people moving from Asia and Africa on the routes of a search of a better life.
Though Great Britain has an important political and economic background, mostly due to its colonial heritage, it's a relatively small country compared with the emerging colusses such as China, India and Brazil.
I'm personally convinced that the European Union must tighten its politic bonds to form a stronger political union capable to face the increasing and rising economies of the globalized new world.
Nevertheless, though I'm fond of the British culture (both of english and scottish and even of Irish), I've alawys seen London very uncertain on the path of European integration.
And I could say the same for Paris (of course for different reasons from Great Britain).
But now we are coming to a turning point.
I see on the next future a double scenario: if Great Britain decides to go out, the other partner will probably tighten closely trying to find new strengh and new reasons to stay together; if, vice versa, British voters call for staying also in this case the other partners will ask Great Britain to abandon its hesitation, which has often trespassed into ambiguity.
