Our Prime Minister signed the letter this evening, that's now on its way to the EU, ready to be opened tomorrow lunchtime. It's the big Article 50 trigger that'll kick off the Brexit process for real. There's no question about it. This is happening, and sadly there's nothing more we can do to stop it. Remember folks, the majority of people who voted, who make up 27% of the population of the country, is the "will of the people" and it must be respected. Because 27% = 100% according to those in power right now.
In other news, Scotland had a session of Parliament today, in which they voted in favour of another independence referendum. That's good news. Theresa may is against it though, and has said we must leave the EU first, then they can have a referendum. This seems a bit counter-intuative, as I'm sure it'd be helpful to know how many countries there will be in 2 years will be somewhat helpful in negotiations. The Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has stated she'll be fighting as hard as she can for a successful independence result, as she says the UK Gov. haven't told her much about Brexit, and has told them incorrect information before.
Also, Northern Island is having some issues right now. There was an election last month, after someone resigned. It's required they have a coalition government there, yet the parties don't want to form a coalition. The deadline was yesterday. They're now trying to decide what's going on over there. It's possible they could also have a referendum to reunite with Ireland.
As you can see, everything's looking great over here.
How are these things being reported elsewhere? I know the BBC, the public broadcaster over here, has been told it needs to make Brexit appear more "positive", as it's currently making it seem like too negative of a thing (which it is). Obviously elsewhere you can report on it how you like, which would be interesting to see a PoV from somewhere outside of the UK/Europe.
Please, discuss this. I expect tomorrow there'll be more news as people announce things
