Politics - Brexit - View Post

Maybe some Vgchartz Brits can help me b/c I'm completely baffled and confused here.. Two main things I'm confused about as a naive stupid American:

- why tf do you have a vote for Brexit in the first place if the establishment clearly doesn't want out of the EU and is seemingly doing just about everything in their power to keep Britain in the EU despite the majority voting to leave it? I mean it's been like 3 years now has it not? Shit or get off the pot. Why even take the vote? You just cause civil unrest IMO.

- Why is the EU seen as this sort of godlike power structure that you need to support your nation or else you apparently fall into anarchy or something? What have they done specifically to prove their merit in terms of economic benefits, etc? Furthermore why is free trade good for Britain? I know as an American Midwesterner it has decimated our local economies.

I mean, Britain obviously surivived 100s of years without the EU did it not? Why is it suddenly crucial that Britain remain tethered to this globalist coalition?
