    Brexit: Britain Votes with Trump, against Hillary, Obama

    The Daily Trump

    by Staff
    6/24/2016

    Excerpt:

    Breitbart says British voters chose to “leave” the European Union on Thursday, defying the polls — and President Barack Obama, who had urged Britain to “remain” in the EU. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had also urged Britain to stay in the EU. Only Donald Trump had backed the campaign to leave.

    Republican strategists had panned Trump’s decision to travel to the UK in the midst of campaign turmoil, and in the wake of his blistering attack on Hillary Clinton earlier this week.

    Now, however, it looks like a risk that paid off handsomely, in the currency of foreign policy credibility.


    Obama’s advice may have pushed some voters to “leave.” In April, he warned British voters they would be at the “back of the queue” in trade with the U.S. if they left the EU. Some, like Andrew Roberts, took offense, writing in the Wall Street Journal:

    Surely—surely—this is an issue on which the British people, and they alone, have the right to decide, without the intervention of President Obama, who adopted his haughtiest professorial manner when lecturing us to stay in the EU, before making the naked threat that we would be sent “to the back of the queue” (i.e., the back of the line) in any future trade deals if we had the temerity to vote to leave.

    Was my country at the back of the line when Winston Churchill promised in 1941 that in the event of a Japanese attack on the U.S., a British declaration of war on Japan would be made within the hour?



    Were we at the back of the line on 9/11, or did we step forward immediately and instinctively as the very first of your allies to contribute troops to join you in the expulsion of the Taliban, al Qaeda’s hosts, from power in Afghanistan?

    Or in Iraq two years later, was it the French or the Germans or the Belgians who stood and fought and bled beside you? Whatever views you might have over the rights or wrongs of that war, no one can deny that Britain was in its accustomed place: at the front of the line, in the firing line. So it is not right for President Obama now to threaten to send us to the back of the line.

    Hillary Clinton also backed a “remain” vote in April, with a senior policy adviser issuing a statement on her behalf:

    Hillary Clinton believes that transatlantic cooperation is essential, and that cooperation is strongest when Europe is united. She has always valued a strong United Kingdom in a strong EU. And she values a strong British voice in the EU.

    Trump, who happens to be in Scotland to open a golf resort, promised in May that leaving the EU would not put Britain at the “back of the queue,” and said: “I think if I were from Britain I would probably want to go back to a different system.” He reiterated that support last week, telling the Sunday Times: “I would personally be more inclined to leave, for a lot of reasons like having a lot less bureaucracy. … But I am not a British citizen. This is just my opinion.”

    Why Americans Should Celebrate the Brexit Vote

    The Daily Signal

    by Nile Gardiner
    6/24/2016

    Excerpt:

    The momentous victory for the Brexit campaign signals a new era of freedom for the British people.

    After more than four decades of being shackled to the European Union (previously the European Economic Community), Great Britain has declared its independence.

    The vote for Brexit (52 percent of Britons cast ballots to leave the EU) is a vote for sovereignty and self-determination. Britain will no longer be subject to European legislation, with Britain’s Parliament retaking control. British judges will no longer be overruled by the European Court of Justice, and British businesses will be liberated from mountains of EU regulations, which have undermined economic liberty.

    Indeed, Brexit will result in a bonfire of red tape, freeing the city of London and enterprises across the nation from European Union diktat. And at last, Britain is free again to negotiate its own free trade deals, a huge boost to the world’s fifth largest economy.

    The United States should seize upon Brexit as a tremendous opportunity to sign an historic free trade agreement with the United Kingdom—a deal that would advance prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic. Brexit will also strengthen the Anglo-American special relationship, the most important bilateral partnership in the world.

      Five reasons Brexit could signal Trump winning the White House

      BBC World News

      by Katty Kay
      6/20/2016

      Excerpts:

      The two most surprising political phenomena of this year have been the rise of Donald Trump and the success of the Leave Europe camp in Britain's referendum on Brexit.

      Few pundits saw either coming (and full disclosure, I include myself here, particularly on Trump) - but we should have and now would be a good chance to make up for past oversight by looking at how the two are linked.
      .............................................

      Later this year, Americans will decide whether to elect Donald Trump as the 45th US President, or Hillary Clinton.

      Opinion polls also suggest this race is close, though with five months to go, those polls aren't terribly instructive yet. Yet the result next week in Britain could give us some indication of how Americans will vote in November.

      Here's five reasons why.

      Angry electorate

      Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, the leader of the Leave campaign, have tapped into a similar public mood of disgruntlement. On both sides of the Atlantic, a lot of people feel they've been handed a bad deal. In the UK, it's European bureaucrats in Brussels who are to blame. In the US, it's elected politicians in Washington who are held responsible. Mr Johnson promises Brits a better deal if they throw off the onerous yoke of EU regulations. Mr Trump promises Americans a better deal if they put him in the White House.

      Globalisation

      The forces of globalisation are causing havoc for European workers as they are for American workers. If you are a white working class man (in particular) the combined effects of immigration, free trade and technology have made your job and your wages less secure. Policy makers in the UK and the US have singularly failed to address these issues in any meaningful way. If the Brexit camp wins next week it could suggest the global anti-globalisation mood (if such a thing is possible) is stronger than we realised.

      Immigration

        Brits defeat the black plague of the Globalist organized crime; other nations, including the US, are expected to free from the shackles of Globalism as well

        Excerpt:

        History was made today. June 23, 2016 became Britain’s Independence day! By over a million votes margin Britons rejected the EU.

        This event is expected to send shock-waves of independence movements around the EU and around the world. Just recently Greelo’s M5S movement won the mayorship of Rome and, with Brexit as a catalyst, Italy might vote to leave the EU as well. Victor Orban of Hungary is expected to push for more independence, particularly the end of massive immigration. Patriotic, anti-EU movements are rising in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Holland, Germany, France, Belgium, Poland and Greece. Austria nearly elected a patriotic anti-EU president. Currently re-count petition is being heard by the Austrian Supreme court.

        What is more important, is that Brexit will be a shot in the arm for Trump’s campaign, it will give confidence in victory to Trump’s anti-establishment, anti-Globalism supporters.
