So i'm an Australian who is living in the UK. I'm married now to my wonderful English girl, but still have to leave for 6 months, come back and apply for a visa. Life has been made harder by visa hurdles, but it's what you expect, you want to live somewhere, you'll have to apply for a visa.
So Brexit has come and I couldn't vote but I supported Leave strongly. I have lots of reasons I supported it, but now i'm being bombed by social media and the news papers, all doom and gloom and telling me i'm an idiot who will ruin the country.
The main point I want to make, and I am happy to outline why I supported leave, if anyone cares, is that the people voted and Leave won, now it's far from fair to try derail that, or make the people that voted for it feel like shit. The people I know who voted leave and their were lots of them, knew that things would suck in the short term. The money markets got it wrong, so the dollar has dropped, people are scared so the market gets effected, but in the long term it will be much better.
The major thing find strange is that being a member of the EU is at it's heart undemocratic. An elected official makes a law, which is then overturned by the EU and that's ok? The future is now the countries to take. They can form bounds with anyone they want, deals and trade with the whole world and Europe. Please if you voted Remain, I know you're scared but try get over it, help the country move forward and for goodness sake don't try overturn an decision by the majority of the people just because you don't agree with it. Where will the world be when a bloody referendum gets overturned?
