The UK has just had a referendum where voters can choose between staying a member of the European Union, or leaving the European Union. The European Union is a socio-economic-political union in Europe that allows free trade between members, free movement of workers (i.e. a person in Poland has an automatic right work and live in the UK) etc. There are many reasons people in the UK want to leave, including worries about levels of immigration, concerns about the level integration with the EU and foreign citizens (i.e. non-British EU citizens) unduly claiming welfare benefits in the UK during a period of spending cuts that leave many poor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need Trump to win in November and all is right in this world. BYE to the bureaucratic, undemocratic MESS that is the European Union! Long live the UK! RULE, BRITANNIA!
