I can't really say i'm surprised. I was was actually expecting it. In the union the UK was always like that rebellious teenager that kept doing what he wanted despite his parents trying to make him a good boy. Honestly if I were british I would've voted for them to leave too. I don't agree with this european union and I always saw it as a pathetic attempt at creating a euripean copy of the Unitrd States. Ever since my country enteted the EU in 2007 things changed from bad to worse despite all the good we were promised. And that's because the people in charge were too busy kissing the EU's ass and adopting all of their outrageous measures blindly without thinking about the consequences they might have on the long run.
