There is no wonder why Britain, historically, have so very rarely devolved pivotal decisions to referenda instead of parliamentary decisional process: the simple fact that the most important decision of modern Britain's history has been devolved against tradition of the British democracy will be the measure of the damnation on history books (to use the words of today editorial of The Guardian) that mr. Cameron will be awardedcas consequence of his gratuitous and reckless gamble.
No matter what, I will forever love Britain and, as the end of this very personal and hearthfelt take on "Brexit" (which I plea to be taken for what it is, hence with no need for abuse), I want to wish all the well to what is gonna be, in 3 years or so, the United Kingdom of England and Wales, with no more of Scottish oil, an almost inexistent manufactury industry will lesser access to global research and the once world's biggest financial market (if combined of Lloyd's reinsurance business and the at-large LSE's business) turned into what you are gonna get to realize under the Boris Johnson/Nigel Farage' leadership.
And what hurts most is that, once again, the elder low qualified angry people, who have been intrumental to this ruthless political manouvre, aregonna be the one to su suffer most of a dumped economy with lesser wellfare to offer to the more suffering part of the community.
I will probably, for the little that cares, take awhile off the board, on the purpouse to not infect it with the bitter anger that such an historical, totally unexpected, turnout has generated in me.
That's easy for you to say!
