Brexit. It's all you ever hear about on the news - literally.
Now, I'm not one for British politics, but I can't help but notice that things are going very, very badly.
Q: Do you think we should stay in the EU? Or leave?
A: I used to think we should stay, so as to keep a secure relationship with the other EU countries, and not jeopardise the life of every young person who has to build a stable future in this ruined economy. It's up to all the 13-17 year olds, who were not able to vote in the Brexit referendum, to work, buy a home, buy a car, and have enough left over to provide for themselves and their family after Brexit.
By leaving, we would be on our own, without any strong links to other European countries. This is a problem, as it would be ruin trade, aid, and travel relationships with EU countries.
Unfortunately, the outcome of Brexit is likely to be No-deal. Wonderful job, politicians.
That's why it would be better off to stay, so that we don't cause conflict with Europe.
But, after seeing what a mess MPs have made of the process, I'm not so convinced that staying is a good idea anymore.
Because, there is an obvious lack of trust from other countries, as we have been indecisive and, to be honest, quite incompetent in terms of our plan to exit the EU.
Furthermore, Britain's borders are out of control - so many Eastern Europeans are taking advantage of Britain's Benefits scheme, and they're sitting at home smoking all day whilst the government pays for it. Ridiculous, right?
I know that controlling our borders will not completely stop immigrants, as they can still come to England illegally, but at least we are taking immediate action to do what is best for the country. If Britain could become self-sufficient, however unlikely that may be, I'd be happy to leave the EU.
And yes, I know that everyone is blaming Mrs. May for not being able to secure a good deal (or any deal, really), but - and I hate to say this - it isn't actually her fault.
You see, it all started with David Cameron. Lovely fella, except he decided to start this whole process by calling a referendum on whether Britain should stay or leave the EU.
Now, fast forward to results day, and 51.9% of the British public have voted leave; Cameron yeets himself out of the position of Prime Minister, just because things didn't go his way.
I get it, leave it to the professionals - oh, wait. He was the professionals. Huh. Time for another general election! - which is where May comes in.
You see, it's Cameron's fault that we're even in this mess - yet, we blame May, because she couldn't fix his mess. Just another man making a woman seem incompetent at her job. (Although, she managed to make herself look just that bit more incompetent during her time as PM).
Future generations will blame Brexit on May, but it was not. Her. Fault.
She tried her best to serve her country, and I have the utmost respect for her efforts, despite her repeated failures.

Here are some of the PROS and CONS of Britain leaving the European Union:
In 2016, the UK's net contribution was £8.5billion - surely if this funding was put into, say, the NHS, we wouldn't be in the midst of a national healthcare crisis? Just a thought.
There will obviously be consequences for businesses in Britain that took advantage of these freedoms.

What do you think? Are you pro-Brexit, or anti-Brexit?
Know that I'm not here to influence your political opinion (mostly because I don't have one myself). Vote Tory, Labour, whatever. As long as you are doing what you believe is best for the future of this country, I fully support your decision.
Unless you vote UKIP. Then, you're wrong.
Happy Brexit!

PROS
- Border Control
Under EU law, Britain couldn't prevent a citizen of another EU country from coming to live in the UK. Britons benefited equally, as they were able to freely live and work anywhere else in the EU. This resulted in a huge increase in immigration into Britain, particularly from Eastern and Southern Europe, including countries such as Romania and Italy.
This heightened level of immigration has undoubtedly led to difficulties with housing and service provision.
- Cost-effective
In 2016, the UK's net contribution was £8.5billion - surely if this funding was put into, say, the NHS, we wouldn't be in the midst of a national healthcare crisis? Just a thought.
CONS
- Damages to trade & businesses negatively effected
There will obviously be consequences for businesses in Britain that took advantage of these freedoms.
