UK already left Europe

I have always been an admirer of democracy but not a fan. This is borne out of my insistence that people are different and one hat cannot fit all. My evidence is Africa where most of the governments are still struggling with their flirtation with democracy.

Recent developments in the U.K regarding Brexit is another sad reminder to the limitations of democracy. Government promised people the opportunity to express their opinion, people voted and now some elements backed by the will of those that lost are doing everything to torpedo the mandate of the people. Since I grew up in Africa, I'm farmiliar with this as I have witnessed it being attempted time after time in the country of my birth. (Nigeria)

What many don't realise is the fact that the UK already left Europe. The real question is how will they leave? When 17 million people expressed their desire to leave, there is nothing that will change their minds. Even if some of these elements succeed in blocking the actualisation, the desire will rear its head in another more potent way. This will be ugly. My evidence? Nigeria when Ghanaians ran to her for refuge from economic troubles. At some point, many Nigerians became uncomfortable and wanted them deported. The government ignored that until people started attacking Ghanaians physically on the street. I was nearly lynched because apparently I look Ghanaian. The moral of this, irrespective of what gets people angry, they will lash out when angry.

The UK is tittering in this direction. Many would love to see their borders better regulated and fewer people coming in to meddle with their welfare system. So far, they are being largely ignored. Big mistake!

No matter what happens , many have already left Europe and  this will have far reaching consequences in the days ahead.
