England is the land of Magna Carta. The land of John Locke. While other nations veered from absolute monarchs to short-lived republics to dictatorships, England/Britain/UK kept chugging along with its constitutional monarchy. Their actions didn't always live up to their ideals, but they had ideals, and those ideals were good. Yes, they built an empire and did lots of terrible things in their colonies, but most of those former colonies are now some of the leading lights of the world. And let's not forget they essentially burned up their national will/ability to hold their empire by fighting a pair of world wars, getting involved in those conflicts mainly due to a devotion to their principles. (Nobody else decided to fight the Germans based on Belgian neutrality or Polish sovereignty.)

So when the referendum came up they voted to leave as way to show their dissatisfaction. Because they knew that they wouldn't win. Many "protest votes" were cast without any expectation of winning. When you add those votes to hipsters voting "ironically"....well you see what happens. And the worst part? It happened too close to the US presidential election for your American friends to realize that protest votes and ironic votes can have devastating consequences. Which is how we ended up with Trump.

I feel bad for Scotland. I remember when Scotland was voting for independence, a major hurdle was they wouldn't be an EU nation anymore and lose out on the trade agreements. Then not long after voting to stay in the UK, the UK votes to leave the EU.

This nonsense has been going on for years-there's no way anyone can benefit from this anymore.

Finland: Mostly we consider UK to be one big episode of Monty Python nowadays. We point and laugh, but have really hard time grasping that it is not a joke.

Personally I feel like the EU has too much power over the UK and the gradual erosion of sovereignty is bad for Europe as a whole. I want the UK to get its independence back (whether Theresa May can actually pull this off or not is another story). Why should the EU have power over the UK?
