was it mostly good, mostly bad or still TBD?
I think it was a mostly bad experience during the time period trying to get Brexit to occur. I say it was a mostly bad experience because there has been tons of division and back and forth which had to occur to get to the point where they are at now. It also took years for them to gain the support and even asking for extensions to get Brexit passed. Although it was very necessary to take the time to go over all of the items which needed to be discussed and straightened out like citizen’s rights, the Irish border, and the divorced bill. I think as time continues to go on then it will be better to see how that mostly bad was worth it and will take a turn to being good in the future.
– what do you think was the primary reason?
I think the primary reason was to create more freedoms and say so for the United Kingdom especially when it came to immigration, breaking free of the European Union’s tariffs, and ultimately improving trade. The people of the UK wanted to experience change in their economy and to level up. This leveling up through Brexit would bring money back into the pockets of the people in the UK.
– where do (or have) we see(n) similar themes in the U.S.?
In the US I have seen a similar theme with our borders and immigration policies. The US is supposed to be “the land of opportunity and freedom” which is why some people migrate to the US. There is constant back and forth and division between political parties on whether or not the US border should be open or more secure with strict policies in place. This is similar to the UK and the EU because their situation, one of the primary reason for the wanting to split was due to there not being a mutual understanding with immigration and the wanting of the UK to have more say so for their borders.
– do you think they will ever rejoin the EU and if so, what will it take?
I think they will never rejoin the EU. I think this because they truly fought so hard to separate themselves from the EU. I think that once the UK is able to get a handle on their system of running things then they will genuinely not want to reinstate a relationship with the EU. Also, the UK will be in a better position once they are able to get their own trade agreements in place with its neighbors. If the UK is able to find ways to continue to put more of the money back into their citizen’s pockets and be of benefit to them they should continue down their separate path away from the EU. Overall, if things are going how the UK planned and continues to improve then it would only make sense to stay separated from the EU.

Was it mostly good, mostly bad or still TBD?
I think it’s still TBD on whether or not Brexit was a good idea. I think it depends on whatever side you on if it was good or bad. Bad for the EU because it lost part of it’s membership, funding, and etc, But potentially good for UK do to them now having the ability to control their own laws, taxes, borders and regulations. For most cases if a country or property once to make a change I see no reason why they shouldn’t be allowed to do so within the right channels of communication. If this is what the people wanted then I think it’s a good idea. I just hope that eventually the UK can get to the spot they want to where they can control their own interests and money sot hey can strive to a country they want to be.
What do you think was the primary reason?
The primary reason in my opinion was so that the UK can control what happens to the UK. Whether it be border security, taxes, or monetary impacts. In my opinion there were a lot reasons that the UK would want to be separate but all are relative to control of the country. In my opinion, this is a valid reason and was done so in a diplomatic way. I think it’s a great example of citizens wanting change and then voting on what this change should be.
Where do (or have) we see(n) similar themes in the U.S.?
If we are taking the theme of taking control of the country, then some could draw parallels to the message that President Trump was sharing about “taking control of our nation”. While some might believe that who are we taking back the country from others found this very relatable and resonated with them. I’ve heard this also when it comes to the Republican Party – keep taxes low. I also hear the theme when it comes to the United States and immigration with our border security. It’s interesting to think if Brexit could ever happen to United States. I think of the thoughts and what if of Texas becoming it’s own state or California and I wonder if that could happen to the United States.
Do you think they will every rejoin the EU and if so, what will take?
I would think no if covid did not happen, but with Covid and other world events with Russia and China, I wonder if more and more UK citizens feel different about taking on such a large endeavor. I feel like a lot of the Brexit has taken up time and resources that could be use to create different change, especially since Brexit has not been easy. Do to economic factors and foreign affairs I almost wonder if prioritizes have changed and it makes sense for UK to join the EU. We will know with time what happens..
