Brexit proves that some issues should not be decided
by referendum.



The Brexit referendum ended up in a disaster. Great Britain is now forced to liquidate their membership in the European Union, which is a great loss for both sides. When a country allows the nation to decide by referendum they have to calculate such election results. In my opinion there are several reasons why Brexit proves some issues should not be decided by referendum.



Brexit shows that some countris have the assumption that big political decisions should be decided by referendum. It is obvious that this belief dropped Great Britain into a big crisis. The result destroyed Britains relationship with Europe. The kingdom split up because England and Wales voted for the Brexit, while Ireland was against it so they are now thinking about the independence from the United Kingdom to stay as a member in the Europen Union. The economy, future and relationship to other countries especially their most relevant partner Europe is uncertain. Another point is that people can easily be manipulated by press and politicians. Boris Johnson persuaded the people to vote for
the Brexit by lying and cheating to them. After the referendum he disappeared from public because he don't want to take the responsibility to be the political leader of the country.

Other countries don't see this event as a cautionary tale they follow the example and make their own referendum. Italia is the next country who decided a big political issue by referendum. This referendum also ended up in a crisis like the Brexit. Prime minister Matteo Renzi resigned from his political function. The problem is that people can't unerstand the complex relationship of Europe and what a exit can cause. The result of the Brexit vote seems to support my argument because there were comparatively few people of the younger generation who participated on the election and especially in this group the majority was against Brexit in surveys. Though Brexit is over and the nation has to deal with the results many people are now regretting it and want re-elections. Unfortunately it is too late and the country has to face the afermath.

The given reasons above prove why some issues should not be decided by referendum. In some cases a referendum may be a possibility to solve problems. But in the case of Brexit it caused serious impacts.
