In just under two days’ time the Brexit referendum will have taken place and the results will be about to be made public.
This decision, as superfluous as it may seem to those of us who do not have decent homes or even electricity, is one of the most important in recent decades.
The effects of a British EU exit are, to be honest, unknown. But one thing is certain, they will be far-reaching and would change the trading landscape of the West forever.
Britain may be too small to remain a leading trading country if it exits.
The EU may begin to disintegrate should Britain, one of its major members and a major donor to the EU (while most other members are net borrowers), leave the common market.
Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany is therefore understandably worried. The other heads of state in the EU are too and they should be because most of them would not be able to continue sucking up money from their big brothers/sisters any longer.
An exit is fancied by many British nationalists. They’ve had enough of the bullying tactics of ambitious continental politicians and the laziness of the French. But, will an exit help them to regain the preserved loss of their sovereignty? Or will it lead to Britain becoming a back-water in terms of trade and as importantly, will Britain lose its place as a major decision maker in the West?
On Thursday we shall see whether emotion (the Exit supporters) or sense (the Remain supporters) prevail.
