Question

Brexit

Mar 22, 2018 7:18AM PDT

Hello, everyone.

This question is really important nowadays, so I decided to ask:

What do you think about it?
Will it be good or not for Great Britain and for EU as well? 

Thank you.

So far, not good.

Unilever, a joint British Dutch company, is moving its HQ from London to Rotterdam. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/mar/15/unilever-brexit-rotterdam-hq-london
Others to follow, they say. London is a major financial center in Europe but that will change for the worse as well.
Most pundits say the motivator for the exit vote was a desire to limit immigration, in which Britain would have to follow the EU's inclusive rules. These days 'anti-immigration' often means 'No Muslims; no poor people' and so on. It's ironic that this won't protect Britain from radical Islam. Terrorists find a way to their targets.

During the referendum 52% of the voters thought it's good, and 48% of the voters didn't agree. So opinions differ. What do you think?

Since it's already decided, the answer is not important anymore. Do you agree with that opinion?

But, I thought there was a possibility of a rollback.
