It is official: Britain is leaving the European Union. By a vote of 52-48%, the Brits decided to downsize the EU.
Naturally, Prime Minister David Cameron is resigning from his position, stepping down in October. In a show of a typically British, understated temper tantrum, he is leaving office rather than having to deal with the "will of the British people", as he described it. Translated, his message to the Brits was, "You want to leave the EU? Fine, but I'm leaving you."
Contrary to what many Leftists think, the world will be better off with smaller countries, and hence smaller governments. My hat is off to the Brits. I think they did the right thing for themselves, and for the EU.
