Aftermath of the EU referendum!!!

 The result of the European Union EU referendum is still very much a hot topic. The reality of exiting the EU has triggered a set of events such as the PM, David Cameron, resigning, political parties in turmoil and the people uncertain with some urging a second referendum. To say that it has opened a whole lot of debate and events is an understatement. With the results showing a divided country as well as political issues dividing opinion, there is a whole lot of unspoken rhetoric.

Commentators tried to analyse the reason the vote swayed the way it did with some purporting that the result demonstrated how out of touch the political elite are with the working class. Some commentators stated that the result exposed a salient indication of xenophobia and that the Brexit campaign was propelled by racism.  But other commentators stated that it had to do with the voice of the ordinary British who feel that they have been marginalised in their own country and this vote was akin to a protest vote. Whatever the reason, we can agree that people voted based on different reasons personal to them.

It is apparent now that some of the promises made by team Brexit were portentous with some unravelling within hours after the vote to exit - The millions promised to NHS and the curb to immigration all open to moot point.

With xenophobic acts reported by different communities, it is such a shame that such is happening in a great country. It is apparent that there has not been a positive case made for migration and immigration. Rather, issues such as housing, spaces in schools, waiting times in hospitals and GP has been blamed on immigration which are issues that should be dealt with appropriate government policies.

With a divided nation and events leading to the fragmentation of politics, it is time to leave our differences behind and come together to work with the result of the referendum. It is not a time to wish shadenfreude on team Bretix but to bring together all brains and support a plenipotentiary leader to help steer us out of whatever the consequences of voting exit brings.

Further, it is also time to honestly debate immigration and people should not be labelled racist because they want to discuss the issue. Many political commentators have stated that immigration is positive when it is controlled.

Whatever the fears, uncertainty and disappointment, we must all come together and make Britain outside the EU work.
