We have sought to heighten, if not least draw the awareness of Montserratians and British Overseas Territories as well as other Caribbean countries citizens living in the United Kingdom the impact of Brexit or Bremain, the latter phrase surfacing the vote nears.
In this issue we continue those presentations. We have presented as much as we can interestingly enough opinions on the issue from different areas with direct reference to Montserrat and the rest of the Caribbean. Those of us living in Montserrat can only seek to influence our own as best we can our diaspora in the UK many of whom are voters there. We seek to make them aware that their action will impact their homeland in which the majority have said remain their interest.
As we see it the argument to remain seem to show that there is obvious hidden agenda, as there is hardly much that can be said with any certainty that the future is brighter for the UK and its territories should they leave the EU.
We believe it is very strange that since 2008 and even before, for decades the encouragement that the world must seek to unite and be one as has become necessary and done in blocks. The belief has been going alone was taboo. But suddenly Britain in the bare face of economic progress and being fifth strongest economy in the world should is being encouraged choose go it alone in the hope of forging new partners.
The British media makes an interesting study and appears to us to be among the worst training ground a journalist can be exposed. The polls we would advise ignore. Just look back at the last General Elections!
Ross Steinberg, an AEIdeas intern, wrote the following as the points that make up the debate.
The Remain arguments: WhyVote to Remain
The leave arguments: Why vote “leave”?
The final warning is: “It’s a one way door to the future – a UK one way exit, there will be no turning back…”
End:
