More than four years after the Brexit night in 2016, the British government finally reached an agreement with the European Union on the issue of Brexit. Although both parties believe that they have made more concessions and compromises, at least the British can finally Let this matter come to an end and give the people an explanation, but I don’t know how many British people will cheer for this belated “victory” today. People may even want to forget everything that happened four years ago. The referendum with an almost half-half approval rating was not destined to be England’s Victory Day from the very beginning.
Cameron, the "initiator" of the referendum, only appeared in the film as a rebroadcast. Brexit was the result he was least willing to see, and it was also a result he had never expected to appear. The victory of the Scottish independence referendum made Cameron blindly confident and tried to solve another political risk in the same way. Since Britain joined the European Union, the voice of domestic opposition has never ceased. It seems that there is no problem with winning the pursuit through the emotion of victory. There are signs that Brexitists have the upper hand in public opinion, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before the referendum passes smoothly. Cameron and his supporters did not estimate the situation wrong, but they obviously underestimated the means and determination of the Brexitists. They left too much time for their opponents, enough for the latter to change the minds of many British people.
As mentioned in the film, British society has undergone tremendous changes in the last two decades. These changes are not all caused by joining the EU, but for those who are in a dilemma and life is not as good as before, joining the EU does not Bring them all the benefits the government promised back then. Economic cooperation and population movement have only taken away the benefits and job opportunities that should belong to them. Anger and dissatisfaction have been breeding in their hearts for many years. At this time, some people claimed that they would lead them to get back what they lost and the glory of the past. I imagined that the combined forces would form a huge wave. Brexitists are well versed in the skills of guiding emotions. British society has not been as calm as it seems for a long time. The hidden gunpowder keg has always existed. They just used the fuse called "Brexit" to detonate it. Remains obviously do not understand such propaganda methods. They hope that voters can rationally listen to the experts' analysis of the potential consequences of Brexit, choose the most beneficial to the country, and reject the "obviously stupid" option. Supporters of the Brexitists will probably sneer at this. Their lives need to be changed, and staying in the EU will only stay the same. If there is nothing to lose, then change does not mean risk. But at the same time, the Brexitists did not give them any specific promises about the future. They are only responsible for dreaming, not for realizing them. They may also know that the end of the dream will not meet the imagination of either party.
In the end, the Brexit referendum ended in such a chaotic state. Supporters of the Brexitists celebrated their victory wildly, while the crowd of the Remains was as dead as the end of the world. But is this really the night of victory for which party? It is certain that half of the British believe that they have lost, and so far the other half have not received the benefits they thought, only for a time it seemed that it would never end. Negotiations on Brexit. An EU official was quoted as saying, “The United Kingdom is like the cat in my house. It keeps beating the door and making noises. You think it is going out, but when you punch the door, it just stands on the door frame and looks at it. To you.” The British seemed to put aside all the important things, and it took four years to finally get their feet out of the threshold, and most of them seemed to have become exhausted and even began to miss the days before. "But at least we have followed the British democratic tradition and respected the opinions of the majority." When they comforted themselves in this way, is this really the case?
When the referendum was announced, how many people did not have the belief in Brexit at the beginning. They could have voted to stay in Europe, or kept their vote, but in the end they lost to the aggressive propaganda offensive of the Brexitists, confusedly On the side of Brexit. It is the first time for Brexitists to analyze voters through their behavior on social media, identify potential Brexit supporters through portraits of voters, and then give them a "Brexit education" without them noticing, thus succeeding The creation of a new Brexit faction is the secret to the rapid growth of the Brexit camp with extremely high efficiency. Imagine a person with a wandering attitude. He sees accurate information pushed to him on social media every day, and everything hints at the malpractices of the European Union. It is difficult for him not to be imperceptibly influenced. It may be questionable whether this kind of inflammatory propaganda deviates from the original intention of the referendum, and whether the result can represent the true opinions of the majority of the people. We may have to admit that this referendum is not a victory for anyone except to satisfy the interests of a few politicians and become a test product for the propaganda of the new media campaign. Regrettably, this is precisely the vote that determines the long-term future of the United Kingdom. It is more meaningful than an ordinary election, and the price the British will pay for it will far exceed the four years so far.
