British or some people, confused on the Brexit vote?

Admittedly, the referendum decision, by the British to leave the EU after 43 long years in which the United Kingdom (UK) had been an integral part was unexpected by outsiders, worldwide.

 Indeed for a long time, it was right to view the UK as interchangeable with the EU, it was a member by majority decision then. More than a generation later the majority has swung. Nothing wrong! Democracy doesn’t bind the living to the dead in perpetuity; democracy isn’t good time religion which was good for my father and must ipso facto be good for me! Democracy is a process, dynamic in nature. Stock markets may gyrate and financial markets overreact, they always return from the jitteriness induced by fallible men/women who want to entrench the status quo. It’s business unusual. All must adapt.
