Britain has seen three prime ministers, two General Elections, and three and a half years of arguments from either side of this political divide since the public voted to leave. It was a campaign fought even after the votes were counted. This may seem familiar to our American audience. President Trump won in 2016, and yet there are swathes of the political and media class who just do not accept the reality: This is Brexit country.
As Britain prepares to bid a not-so-fond farewell to the European Union, I want to walk you through the timeline of events from Britain joining what was billed as little more than a simple trade arrangement. And we’ll go all the way through to the E.U. becoming a monolithic government that commanded nations in what laws they must implement and what border controls, if any, they were permitted. Finally, we’ll see how Britain broke free of an organization that would be a country.
