The gong struck. Fifty-two percent of the people in the United Kingdom voted to return to self-independent rule and leave the protective shield of the European Union.
What most people do not understand is why?
The European Union itself is struggling to find answers to the dissatisfaction smoldering among countries that are no longer looking for a safety hatch. An ulcer, which zaps the creativity and the ability for the people to decide on a national level, has caused one nation to leave. Will others follow?
There is no win-win situation in this scenario; the European Union faces a challenge.
I do not have any answers. However, I do know one of its founding fathers has cut its ties and will be missed.
