The USA is the largest single market in the world. It consists of 50 independent States (aka European countries) that create their own laws, raise their own taxes, have their own armed forces (National Guard) and has a common currency (US $) within a single federal government (Washington DC). The USA is held by many right wingers to be an ideal democracy, but the EU is not! I don't hear many Texans wanting to leave the Union, no matter how much they dislike one administration or another. The population of the UK did not have the sense to see this. Immigration into the UK, is not a problem outside of the metropolitan areas. In my lifetime I have experienced the inwards movement of people into London of holocaust survivors, free Polish ex-servicemen, refugees from Indian partition, Ugandan Asians, etc etc. The list is long, but there has always been a movement of people into the UK. The problem with the complaints about the EU migration is the direct effect it had on the artisan classes, especially the building trade. Before Poland joined the EU, building tradesmen could and did charge whatever they liked for an indifferent product. The influx of good Polish tradesmen, who worked for less, turned up on time and produced a , generally, better quality job took work away from the white van man. The resentment at this loss has been a festering sore in British politics. <br />The other factor is the resentment in the Regions of the UK of the Westminster bubble. Successive UK Governments, since Mrs Thatcher, have been centralising power in Westminster and this has led to a feeling of isolation. The English Regions do not realise how much they have in common with the policy of the SNP in Scotland. The Referendum gave the English Regions the chance to give Westminster a kicking. In Scotland we voted to stay because of the promises the English made to us at the time of the Independence Referendum. We would be worse off outside the UK and would not be allowed to join the EU if we left the UK. Scotland benefits greatly from the UK 's membership of the EU so people voted to stay within the UK. We are now feeling betrayed and deceived by our English neighbours who asked us to vote for a false concept of the UK. The English only want Scotland for its resources, hence our First Minster's request for Indy2. There are areas , near where I live, that have a lower population today than after the Jacobite Revolt. The notion that the UK is full is a falsehood. The Scottish Highlands cannot get anymore infrastructure improvements without investment in people , which brings more people. The EU assisted with this improvement, Wednesday did not and will not pay any in the future.
