Re: I'm a little on edge, looking for advice
Here's how I see it. I'll try and keep this on topic, and not rant about my personal political views. I believe in Brexit, that it's a positive movement for Britain, more control in our laws, our own trade agreements, ending the uncontrollable free movement levels, ETC, you've heard it all before. That's over anyway, the leave side won with the election on Thursday. The issues transcend Brexit now though. The voters dislike being patronised, being ignored, being mocked. That's why we won. There's so much noise out there now, it's difficult to tell what's real and what's not. All you can try and do is to formulate your own opinions from facts. The nightmare scenarios, whereby Britain runs low on all supplies, whereby the NHS is sold off, are stories that have been spun way out of proportion. They will not happen. Brexit will bring change, much positive, some turbulence yes, but I genuinely believe that our country is heading in the right direction. I know I won't convince many people on the internet, and that's fine, but the only argument that's needed is democracy. It's difficult for me to say, seeing as I only got involved in politics in the past 3/4 years, but confidence in democracy was at an all-time low, and the amount of scare-tactics, the amount of abuse and hate, from both sides I must say, was unprecedented. Logic doesn't seem to matter anymore, even facts are twisted. In an era where someone can tweet on social media that the Tories are going to sell off the NHS, with no proof but an outdated document that's not even from the current government,, in an era when that message will spread and mutate into anger and personal attacks just because a person has different views, is problematic to say the least. People, on all sides, have been worried by stories that have turned out to be untrue. People said the pound would crash, the economy would crumble if we choose Brexit, in fact it has thrived and risen. Equally, the extreme right said we needed a clean brake, which would have left us with little room to manoeuvre in terms of foreign relations, we really need a balance.
This is the nature of elections, things are taken to extremes, stories are spun, ETC. I'll admit, a Corbyn government would've worried me, just as a tory government will worry others. We have to accept democracy, and remember that everything is presented for a specific agender. The Tories are presented as heartless bastards (feel free to call me one if you wish it wouldn't be the first time) whilst the Labour party have been called racist lunatic socialists who would spend the country into bankruptcy. Both are probably too extreme. We could really do with some calm in the UK.
