running out of toilet paper would be the least

By Federico Sieder / Special for La Nueva.

And finally, the UK had the opportunity to leave the European Union (EU) "for good".

But what about the Brexit, the Hard Brexit, the Soft Brexit, the Check Deal, the extension, that there will be more toilet paper or Rioja wine in the Tesco gondola?

First … to the first.

Brexit means Great Britain-Exit. Great Britain-Sale (from the European Union).

Where does this vote come from? A promise Before being re-elected in 2015, then Prime Minister David Cameron had declared that he was going to ask for votes as part of his campaign. And that is accomplished. And after the results, he left.

But beware, there is a precedent. Forty years ago, there was another referendum in which the same question was asked: do we stay or leave? The stay had a margin of victory of 67%. In total, 64.5% of registered voters participated. Years later, other attempts to call a popular vote on the same subject took place, although they failed to do so.

The last referendum took place in June 2016. The 71.8% of the subscribers registered to vote and Leave (those who decide to leave) beat Remain (those who decided to stay) with 51.9% of the votes. 48.1%.

And what is this famous referendum? A popular non-legally binding vote. This means that the government can decide not to take into account the results. In other words, if Parliament wants to go back with Brexit, it can. He cancels it tomorrow and San-Se-Finished.

Seeing and considering that leaving the EU currently without treatment is an economic suicide, why not cancel and leave? Democracy Politicians of the time called for the voice of the people to be respected – despite the fact that many voted without knowing why they voted – and that a referendum, it is a survey.

They also say that if they upset the political image of the Kingdom, they would lose their credibility and seriousness.

After Parliament rejected Theresa May's proposed treatment for leaving the EU, the UK was at the mercy of either extending the date of departure or leaving without pay.

Leaving the country without any treatment would leave the UK without any advantage in commercial, political or migration terms. Basically, the UK would be at the same level of competition as any other country that is not part of the EU.

Today, 40% of the food consumed in the United Kingdom is imported. Part of this percentage also contains raw materials for the food producing industries. A non-agreement means more taxes and more problems to clear customs.

But not everything is dramatic. Almost. A couple from Worcestershire, England, became viral after Julien East tweeted a photo of purchases made by her husband, Tony Smollett, in the face of a Brexit without pay. 144 rolls of toilet paper, more than 50 cans and imported wines for a modest sum of 658 pounds (about 36,000 pesos).

This is nothing more than a funny anecdote. It turns out that Smollett was half-nil while going shopping.

Anecdote aside, there are serious conflicts. People with chronic health conditions collect drugs and, in addition, some providers do the same. The first in case there are import problems and the second because they do not know what kind of taxes they will have at the end of Brexit.

This means that for the first time in England, hospitals are starting to suffer from a shortage of drugs.

And according to the government?

Not so long ago, the UK government released a paper outlining the possible impacts of a Brexit in the short and medium term.

– The economy can contract between 6.3% and 9% after 15 years, mainly in Wales and Ireland.

– More than 240,000 companies can end up in a customs process loop with an administrative burden of around 13,000 million pounds per year.

– The border between Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland (the one being part of the UK and the other of the EU) will suffer from disruptions in the chains supply and free pbadage will also be affected.

– A headache. There are people working on one side of the border who live on the other side or, in even more ridiculous cases, people who have properties crossed by the border in the middle. This problem was one of the issues discussed in the last agreement rejected by Parliament by a large majority.

– Without agreement, British citizens may be subject to tighter controls when they enter the EU.

– And there are also cases of importation, like KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). The director of the multinational in the UK and Ireland, Paula MacKenzie, said in an interview with the BBC that a Brexit without agreement could result in a shortage of chickens.

– Or, for example, one of Britain's leading suppliers of toilet paper stores about 3.5 million rolls … just in case. Jokes to clean the … with Brexit aside, huh.

The extension, approved by the 27 member countries of the EU, is a kind of safety net that gives the UK more time to think about the next step. If Parliament approves the treatment proposed by Theresa May next week, the deadline is set for May and if there is no agreement, the limit set in the United Kingdom for leaving the European Union goes back to April 12th.

Bad, bad immigrants

One of the major currencies of Brexit was against immigration. Many people from Europe come to England to steal jobs.

First of all, I do not quite understand how a doctor can rob the laburo to a factory worker. But drunk.

The reality is that foreigners who come to a new country seize the first laburo that they find. And honestly, these are jobs that the rest of the British do not want to have (hospitality, factories, cleaning, etc.)

In any case, the negligence of the state in the face of basic needs leads to a general state of anger that leads to drastic decisions like this one. (I'm thinking of Argentina and all the audible alarms.)

House prices are rising and so are rents. Added to this is an austerity policy that has reduced the budget of the public and educational sectors over the last 10 years (all alarms, yes).

What would happen to Europeans living in the UK? Nothing In theory, those who arrive before the Brexit is executed see their rights guaranteed under the protection of the EU.

And the British living in the rest of Europe? It depends on the immigration policies taken by the United Kingdom. If you decide to reject all Europeans settled here, the European Union can take the same steps.

There is a special case on the Costa Blanca in Alicante, Spain, where one of the largest British communities voted in favor of leaving without realizing that it was essentially about 39, an attempt to kick. This community is a dramatic reflection of why the British are complaining about migration here. After years of life, not only do they not know the language, but they separate the Spaniards who go to work in their country without knowing English. In his opinion, the British community in Spain is "very valuable to the Spanish economy". Although, aside from nationalism, they do not know what will happen with their medical protections or pensions.

The European Union is working broadly, like Mercosur. You can live in any of the countries that make up the registration and benefit from basic state protections (health, pensions, labor protection, etc.).

What other reasons led to Brexit?

I do not know if you hear the slogan "Make America great again". Many working clbad members (who often rely on economic aid from the EU) are asking to return to the economic greatness of 40 years ago. This means that bars, shops and industries are back. Bars, shops and industries consumed by large companies. Companies resolved and approved by the same owners who say today: let's go, we will be better.

(The UK, clarified by doubts, is made up of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.)

Wales was one of the countries with the highest percentage of votes in favor of leaving the Union. Paradoxically, it is one of the countries that receives the highest percentage of EU grants. At present, it has at least 680 million pounds a year to cover road fees, investments in universities and grants to farmers, among others.

This is lost.

And the rest of the people?

He's complaining.

Today, more than a million people have taken to the streets of London to ask for a second referendum.

Ed Sides, in particular, joined the march after traveling more than 320 kilometers from Swansea, Wales, to London. It took him two and a half weeks and he said, "He has taken enough time to listen and talk to the people" who support Brexit and try to direct them to their cause.

On the Internet, more than 4 million and a half people have signed on the government's official website a petition to repeal Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Until now, there was no answer.

So things. Today, no one knows what will happen to Brexit.

For my part, I hope they will return there.
