Why You Should Be Glad Britain Voted for Brexit

Why You Should Be Glad Britain Voted for Brexit, US News and World Report, June 25, 2016, "Britain's historic referendum on its membership in the European Union ended early on Friday morning with a clear result: 52 percent of the British people, a margin of more than 1.2 million voters, wanted to exit the E.U. Brexit is a reality, and, as a result, Prime Minister David Cameron, who led the campaign to keep Britain in, has resigned. To listen to the intelligentsia scream about this, you would think that Britain has done something dangerous. But Britain's going to stay in NATO. It's not going isolationist. It's not going to stop buying, selling and investing around the world. What it is going to start doing is controlling its own borders, making its own trade agreements and writing its own rules. Inside the E.U., it couldn't do any of those things. After it completes its departure from the E.U., it can."
