Brexit is Just the Beginning

For the United Kingdom, voting to leave the European Union was the easy part — now it must actually do so.

Voting out is one thing, but E.U. law, to which the U.K. is subservient, stipulates that in order to fully achieve Brexit, the U.K. must invoke Article 50 of the E.U. Lisbon Treaty.

The current backpedaling on Brexit should come as a dire warning to Trump supporters in the United States

The article gives withdrawing member states two years with which to complete negotiations and make an exit. Unfortunately for proponents of British independence, only Parliament may trigger Article 50 — legally speaking, the referendum results are non-binding.

Many fear the next government will simply not invoke Article 50 — or that if they try, it will be killed by anti-independence forces in Westminster.

But even if the next government does indeed pull the trigger on Article 50, many fear that the globalists will do all in their power to ensure an independent Britain doesn’t look too different from one under Brussels’ direct sway.

Indeed, there are already signs this may be the case. Last week, Member of European Parliament Daniel Hannan, one of the nation’s leading pro-independence voices, admitted that — despite campaigning largely on the promised ability to once again control their own immigration levels — Brexit may not mean the end of free movement of peoples between the E.U. and the U.K.

“Frankly, if people watching think that they have voted and there is now going to be zero immigration from the E.U., they are going to be disappointed,” Hannan said. The MEP implied that accepting the free movement of people may be a condition of continued free trade with the anti-democratic, supranational bloc.

“The idea of staying within a common market but outside the political integration, I think that is feasible,” Hannan said, and when asked to clarify what that would look like responded “it means free movement of labour.”

This would be especially terrible for the United Kingdom should Turkey be accepted into the E.U.  and decide to issue passports to the nearly three million Muslim migrants within its borders — both of which appear increasingly likely.

The current backpedaling on Brexit should come as a dire warning to Trump supporters in the United States of the lengths to which the globalist Establishment will go to prevent its precious project from being derailed. Should Trump win in November, it is clearly no guarantee that a President Trump would bring order to our borders and liberate the country from the shackles of free trade deals.

To ensure Trump delivers on his campaign promises, it would be imperative not only for the American people to hold his feet to fire, but to also do all in their power to ensure Establishment forces that may wish to derail his plans are kept firmly in check.

To this end, the 2018 midterm elections will be crucially important if Trump is in the White House at the time. The current doublespeak coming from ostensibly pro-Brexit British politicians reveals the extent to which Establishment lawmakers can — and will — go to in order to ignore the will of their own people.

If the British government really does surrender its own border control as part of a post-Brexit deal, it will “destroy the credibility” of representative government, said Nigel Farage, U.K.IP leader and one of the public faces of the Brexit campaign. People will wonder “why they bothered turning out in this referendum.”

If Trump should win, it will be up to Americans who value their sovereignty and safety to ensure they don’t find themselves wondering why they voted for him in the first place.
