On the Referendum

I'd never claim to be an expert in politics, but that doesn't stop me from finding things like the 2016 presidential elections and the EU Referendum very interesting, in fact tomorrow is arguably more important than the presidential elections, since this will change the way Europe operates, and will undoubtedly have long lasting implications for the world. so given the significance of tomorrow's referendum, I thought I'd ramble a bit about my reasons for my decision.

Let's get to it, the European Union was originally built as a free trade zone, but that was never meant to be where it ended, the origins of the modern EU go back to the First World War, following the conflict, a Unites States of Europe was proposed, the EEC was slowly built after the Schuman plan in the 1950's as a trade zone, and in 1975, back when it was just a common market, the British people voted to remain in the EEC, but were promised that it wouldn't be a political union, which is now is. The European Union is not a democracy, the bureaucrats who run the show are not elected  and do not answer to the people, they have complete authority to pass laws and impose regulations on everybody with little to no say from the governments of the nations under their flag. And while the remain campaign will argue otherwise, the end goal of the EU is a federal, bureaucratic superstate, a United States of Europe, it may sound stupid, but they're already there pretty much, they have a flag, an anthem, a national currency, a government, a central bank, and plans are in the works for an armed forces, these are trappings of a superstate, the sovereignty of the countries in the EU; Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Greece, so on, will cease to exist, effectively becoming states, all of which must answer to the overlords of the EU, which, as I already said, are unelected Bureaucrats with utter contempt for your democratic rights, "If the answer is no, the vote will probably be done again, because it absolutely has to be a yes," said the former Belgium prime minister Jean-Luc Dehaene in regards to a referendum on the EU constitution, democracy at its finest, freedom to obey.

But what has far more power in swinging the vote is the delicate issue of immigration. Immigration itself is not the problem, when they come in in small enough, controlled numbers, and are successfully distributed throughout the local population for integration and assimilation into the local culture. The problem here is when hundreds of thousands of migrants are flooding in from northern Africa and the Islamic world, and not being distributed and assimilated, instead forming small, isolated communities dominated by their culture, a culture which, in this case, hates and kills gays, segregates men and women, and stones women to death. the governments of Europe deny that these ghettos exist, but they do. And a very good example is Molenbeek, one of these supposedly nonexistent ghettos in which Salah Abdeslam, one of the Paris Massacre plotters, was able to hide from the police for 4 months, and was protected by the Muslim population, who rioted and attacked the police when he was finally found and arrested. What about the Taharrush that happened in Cologne on New Year's Eve, a pre-planned mass sexual assault, one that shows the disregard women are held in in these Muslim communities, and even worse, one that the German government did everything in their power to cover up and apologise for, with the Mayor of Cologne insisting people don't blame the migrants, and the German government cracking down on 'internet hate speech' in the wake of this attack, German news outlets had to apologise for not covering the event, thank god the cover up didn't work, and everyone saw how hard the German government tried to keep knowledge of this event from getting out. Turkey is hammering on the EU to speed up its acceptance into the EU, meaning thanks to the EU's free movement rules, 75 million more people could have the right to live in Britain. Turkey is also a majority Muslim country, meaning Britain could very easily become like Germany and Sweden, which are currently being hit by a crime wave, Sweden is the Rape capital of Europe, and both countries have no go areas where emergency services daren't go out of fear of being attacked.

Economically Europe is a husk, youth unemployment is sky high in countries like Spain and Greece, and Europe has seen no significant financial growth since 2010, while the rest of the world has, Britain sends £350 million to the EU a week, with no control over how it's spent, the EU needs this money because of how stagnant their economy has become, they need the money to prop up their entire system. meanwhile countries outside of the EU are prospering, and have complete control over things like their trade deals and their markets, while Britain has to fall in line with the rest of Europe and isn't allowed to negotiate its own deals. Things will only get worse as with the swarm of migrants coming in, enormous strain will be put on emergency services and health care, and companies will gladly employ migrants who will work for less pay, so as to drive down everyone else's wages, screwing over unemployed Brits and employed Brits who will have their wages slashed, not to mention the rise in taxes needed to pay for that extra strain on services, and the endless regulations and taxations the EU imposes on Britain, the red tape that strangles small and up and coming private businesses, as big corporations are the only ones who can afford to comply with the EU's regulations. I'll end this by mentioning Jo Cox, and to express my disgust at the remain campaign jumping on her murder to emotionally manipulate voters, saying it was Brexit's fault, and the killer yelled "Britain first" when he killed her, it's all the more infuriating when they blame Brexit for Jo Cox, but demonise Donald Trump for blaming Islam for Orlando, even though the shooter chanted Allah hu Akbar during the attack and pledged his allegiance to ISIS, a group which is also more than happy to exploit the migrant crisis to smuggle weapons and soldiers into Europe, something they have done before and will continue to do thanks to the EU's open border policies.

I'm not going to tell you what to vote tomorrow, that's your democratic right to make up your own mind, but here's how I look at the situation, and these are my reasons for making my choice, I'm voting Leave, and I'm not going to be scared by the Jo Cox exploiters or the fear mongers, I see the EU as a threat to our Sovereignty, a threat to our economy, and a threat to our democracy, and I am voting leave, Thank you for reading.
