European Union and Britons Vote

: With less than two weeks to go before Britons vote on whether their country remains a part of the 28-nation European Union, or leaves, there are now polls showing for the first time that the leave or Brexit side may have the momentum to win, according to Toronto Star. In reaction to these polls, the British pound swung wildly on currency markets last Monday in a way not seen since the 2008 financial crisis. This has been a particularly tense week in the referendum campaign, full of wild and unsubstantiated claims. To a Canadian observer, there are obvious parallels to the Canada/Quebec referendums. This makes it more than possible that cautious Britons, having peered into the abyss, will pull back, catch their breath and vote to remain in the EU. But we now live in the world of Donald Trump, and all bets are off. The threats by big business that the sky will fall if the U.K. votes to leave are getting louder. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
