Don’t really like the idea of writing about politics-related stuff on a domaining blog but the fact that this month (on the 23rd), the United Kingdom will decide if they stay in the European Union or leave is a big deal. As in literally a huge deal, especially with the polls indicating no clear winner.
Yes, there was this one poll which said the “leave” camp had a significant lead but it was an online-only poll if I’m not mistaken. Most polls indicate that there’s no clear winner, in other words, the winner leads by a percentage which is pretty much within the poll’s margin of error.
I’ve published a one-minute video about the Brexit on my One Minute Economics YouTube channel:

I tried to focus on the economics dimension and avoid discussions related to migration which frequently degenerate into racial debates that I don’t want to encourage on my channel. Did my best to be objective.
I for one think the UK is better off staying. Sure, they can continue negotiating their special status and all that but leaving would do a lot more harm than good to the confidence people have in them IMO. And these days, pretty much everything (starting with the currency of the country) is confidence-driven to a very large degree. An exit could cause quite a few headaches… to put it mildly.

UK is better off staying in the EU ONLY IF they want to be ruled by an un0elected bureaucracy from Brussels.
Doesn’t ANYBODY remember the Enlightenment ?
Guess not 🙁
Back into bondage we will go
Sad

“An exit could cause quite a few headaches… to put it mildly.”
For whom?
The UK is not there to support the bloated EU plutocracy-agents, with the sound economics’ principles long forgotten and the social experiments rampant…
