The dissatisfaction in the United Kingdom seems somewhat similar to the rise of the American middle and working class and the ever building support for Donald Trump
"Bad Policy From A Good Leader?" The Demise Of The European Union
If you found yourself asking "why" the United Kingdom voted to remove itself from its family within the European Union yesterday, then you are not alone. Many across the globe are trying to understand, predict outcomes and second guess the people of the United Kingdom.
To understand this divide, we must start with the most powerful and prominent leader of the European Union, Angela Merkel. Who is she, and what has she done for Germany?
Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany since 2005, was able, like no other, to pull together the two major political parties of Germany, the Social Democrats and the Christian Democrats. An accomplishment that can only be achieved under a strong leader. An accomplishment that the President of the U.S. has refused to attempt, creating a divide in its citizenry that hasn't existed since the 60's. An accomplishment that brought the German people together and made them a force to be reckoned.
