The UK is more divided today than it has been for many years. When we leave the EU we will lose Freedom of movement This allows citizens of the European Union (EU) to move to, live in, and in certain circumstances access the welfare system of the EU country to which they have moved. Freedom of movement is one of the founding principles of the EU. Maybe this was always a utopian idealistic concept. As it happens, the UK itself may break up as a consequence There is, however a possibility that British people could be offered Associate EU membership. An Associate citizen would retain freedom of movement in the EU, the right to reside in another EU country under existing rules and the right to vote in European elections, but at a cost. We would also lose our place in the Single Market, the largest trading market in the world. Human rights and workers rights may be put at risk, as well as regulations designed, for instance, to protect our health and safety.
So congratulations to those who voted to leave. Have your moment, but now the hard work really starts, and we will be bored to death with it for two whole years!
