Boris Johnson and European Union

Europe campaign: The Leave Europe campaign includes Britain First campaigners and has been given the nickname Brexit or Britain Exit, according to Huffington Post Canada. A big supporter of the Leave campaign is former London mayor Boris Johnson who cites a loss of control of British borders, trade and Democracy as reasons for a Leave vote. Alongside this hum of excitement exists a tension and a darkness brought on by the referendum that will decide if Britain stays in the European Union or leaves it entirely. The Remain in Europe campaign is defended by London mayor Sadiq Khan and David Bechkam who have discussed the positive contributions of immigration to Britain. Some of the darkness and tension surrounding the final referendum vote on June 23rd erupted into violence when Labour MP Jo Cox was killed by a Britain First supporter. The Remain campaign has promoted unity with Europe and the idea that Britain is stronger in the European Union than outside of it. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
