The long awaited EU Referendum has taken place and the people of United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union.
Referendums give voters the right to have their say on certain decisions and policy outcomes. In reflection, there are many lessons to learn from the British referendum:- Democracy at its best!
- The voice of the people matter
- A true leader puts his/her country and citizens first
- To lead is not a do or die affair
- Check, re-check and re-check again your campaign/election promises
- Scaremongering tactics has ceased to work (Corbyn's election proved this)
- National interest would always supersede other issues
- Sovereignty is important
If you have any other lesson/s learnt abeg add your own join.
Lesson I learnt is that we have ignorant people as leaders who decided to let ignorant citizens make a decision on what we elected them to do. Now as ignorant they have chosen out because most people nuture hatred and have no clue the implications of their decision. On the other hand, no need to keep crying over spilt milk, things have got to work and we hope we can move on and not suffer too much.
ReplyDeleteLesson learnt is that a country founded on discrimination, slavery, colonisation & dehumanisation is capable of anything and we should not be surprised.
ReplyDeleteMain lesson; the working classes and former industry towns with closed factories and a less and less educated population have voted out because they believe a Britain out of Europe will give them a better chance at life, because there is a clear disconnect between London+ other thriving cities and the rest of England. They don't care about your banks, about your FTSE or scientific research because they directly do not feel the impact. Lesson 2:Human nature goes back to basic instinct and fight for survival even when history shows us that electoral promises are sometimes for campaign, we fail to believe. How can the leave campaign convince Commonwealth voters that the rest of the EU hampers their chances? Are people really that naive? In order to remain in the EEA and trade EU products on British soil, the UK will continue to allow free movement, just like the Swiss and Norway even though it is no longer in the EU. How did we allow them to pit immigrant groups against each other? Next the Commonwealth will be flavour of the month. Today it's the Poles. Sadly. Lesson 3: Corbin did nothing for the campaign. Most leavers were Labour voters. He needs to go. His leadership is neither here nor there and as long as he's around, UKIP and the Tories will keep the votes.
ReplyDeleteI am not so bothered about the result of the referendum as I am about the chaotic state of the nation's polity. Most importantly, let me point out that the people's voice, in a truly democratic state, is the strongest. If only the people knew the implications of all this.
ReplyDeletePeople have to air they point on matter like this though some politcal promises never come to fulfilment.But with God all things are possible.
