Coherence is a word that in the UK people can no longer grasp.

The British citizens and the British political establishment have always been cold toward the European project. The United Kingdom entered the European Union in 1973 with the precise aim to stop the integration process and prevent that Europe could become a united nation, all while enjoying the advantages of being part of the biggest single trade market on the globe.

Throughout the decades, the UK punctually rejected every proposal of getting the European states closer:
- NO to single army
- NO to single intelligence
- NO to single foreign policy
- NO to single currency
- NO to single fiscal policy
- NO to the Tobin tax (to protect the establishment of the city that owns 90% of the world’s wealth)
- NO to the European constitution and so on…

On the other hand, the UK has always been fond of enlarging the EU borders with new countries, some of which entered the Union only for economic interests, unwilling to share any inch of sovereignty. Simple logic: the more countries in, the bigger market, but at the same time harder for Brussels to move forward with the unification works.

As if the British political establishment wasn’t enough, now even the British people directly created problems to the Europeans with a reckless vote that now those same voters are regretting.

British citizens believed lies that they WANTED to hear, lies that they LIKED. It was too good to think that the European Union was an unelected forum (in their imagination of course) of technocrats that wanted to establish a dictatorship in the continent and were bringing migrants in the country. Those same migrants that are supporting the British economy were the preferred target to vent people’s frustrations. British citizens didn’t check the validity of the arguments brought on the table by the Leave movement, nor they checked for any possible exit plan, until now, when they cry that they have been told lies, but the truth that it is too late.

Take home the biggest lesson from Brexit: Democracy doesn’t mean only having the freedom to express opinions and to vote, but it also means to be accountable for your own decisions.

On top of this, it’s time to let the UK understand that Europeans can no longer stand their whims! It’s time for Europeans to raise their voices and make the UK notice that WE are on the other side of the table, not a mere institution standing in Brussels!

The European Union is made of its people, the European people, many of who are those same migrants insulted by the Brits during the Brexit campaign! As such, We Don’t Want the UK back in the EU!

The petition is open to everyone, especially if you believe at least one of the following statements:

I want to see Europe united

I want to keep enjoying the longest time of peace in the continent

I want to have all that my parents and grandparents didn’t

I want my children to live without the limitations my parents and grandparents had

I want to have the chance to appeal to higher courts in case of abuse by my local government

I want strong institutions capable of fighting the abuses of the great corporations and tech giants

I want to be free to choose the state where to work and live

I want freedom to move within a space bigger than my home country

I want my land free from American, Russian or any other foreign superpower’s influence

I want the EU free from people who change their minds based on pure convenience

And the last statement does really apply to the Remain campaign supporters. Even if they want to remain in the EU, they want it only because of the economic advantages and will never contribute to the integration process, to solve the issues encompassing the EU, to help the countries in higher need, to stop the populism wiping the continent and to get militarily independent from the US.

If the UK remains in the EU, the EU will never move forward, eventually crumbling. Then, yes, the same UK will regret all the consequences of a Europe once again divided, on a scale they cannot even imagine today….

Yes, Brexit will be painful even for the EU, but the sooner is done the better. Let’s take a deep breath, go through Brexit and enjoy the freedom from the UK after that!
