What is Brexit?

As a Pre election pledge by David Cameron to ensure a conservative party general election victory against UKIP. A public referendum vote was held Thursday 23 June, 2016.

Brexit should be what the majority of the UK voted for.

The lack of defining statements to the wording of the leaving statement (See Ballot paper below) castes substantial doubt as to what extent the 51.9% of the UK's population desires to leave the EU ( European Union.)

European Union (EU) is a union of 28 member countries.

The UK accesses a “Single market” of standardised laws applying in all EU member states. Ensuring free movement of people, goods & services and capital applying to member states.

The EU enacts justice and home affairs legislation. Maintains common trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development policies.

The EU and UK ; both seek to promote greater social, political and economic harmony among European Nations. Economic inter dependency of Nations helps prevents armed conflicts.

The UK choose not to be a member of;

1) Euro currency.

2) Schengen zone.

Lets try;

'Free movement of people, goods & services and capital within all members.

Trade benefits many, free movement of people has caused benefits and social impacts and changes.

Why?

Not all member states are the same, lacking national resources to deal with large influxes of refugees.

The UK has a high population density which is highest in the South and midlands of the UK. Social tensions about Immigration featured in the Referendum discussions.

But.. Why?

UK residents in lower skilled jobs do feel threatened by being 'undercut' by the availability of larger migrant pool. Some migrants present more diverse lower skill sets with less Socioeconomic expectations, this makes them exploitable. Commerce competes by using the cheapest exploitable resources. While costs may fall, wage stagnation also prevents upward income mobility.

A decade ago I asked a builder who sold me a homeless mag in London why he could't find work, he stated he was concerned for his own safety on the work sites because his migrant colleagues did not understand English enough for him to work safely on a building site.

This confirmed to me that migrant exploitation for minimum wage requirements was occurring without regard to proper social integration. ( eg English Language understanding.)

A failure of consecutive UK governments and Social structures to understand and manage migration impacts for previous residents. This national failure alone could account for the exaggerated negative perception of migration and the rise of UKIP.

Worse still, strip mining essential skilled workers from poorer nations outside the EU to run the UK's essential services may become essential. Skilled EU workers are now less inclined to work in a non EU member.

In 2015 the UK paid the EU an estimated £13 billion of our hard earned cash. But certain regions and sectors of the UK Economy received a lot of this money back as rebates. Albeit to the EU's rules.

Based on facts, 51.9% of the UK could not have voted for a clean break with the EU.

More likely they were seeking relief from Socioeconomic burdens. Migration brings change and essential progress to modern Global economy. To much migration incorrectly managed; encourages exploration, criminality and a lower standard of living with wage stagnation for residents regardless of culture.

More autonomy for the EU member to pursue Social justice within the EU framework could have prevented local or regional frustration of UK voters facing a national 'do or die' choice. Other consequences are dealing with the rise of more extreme nationalist Politicians in EU member states.

Unfortunately the EU does not have a track record in understanding and granting autonomy to EU citizens but favours federalism and more integration. The UK seeks more regional adaptability to Global changes.

If the crash of 2008 is a warning about careless integration. Then the Brexit outcome may be chandler gilding on the Titanic before the EU ploughs into more Globalisation Icebergs.
