#Brexit - a vote shaped by domestic issues frustration with the voting system, the UK’s post‑imperial identity crisis, and limited understanding of the EU.
And the yes/no question itself? Emotionally charged and without any clear post‑Brexit vision.

The result:
-> deepened divides between the UK’s nations
-> British identity split into opposing tribes - Brexiters/Leavers vs Remainers/Rejoiners — for a generation or longer

#brexit was a massive mistake. The lesson is to never follow ultra-righties and ultra-nationalistic leaders. They just divide and weaken societies.

Now, #postbrexit time, EU and UK should behave as adults and fix the mess with stronger cooperation.

UK is Europe and half of their population feel that.
