We didn't discuss which way to vote in my family. My DH and I made our decisions before voting and then asked each other what we'd vote for. Both of us voted remain. We were shocked by the results! Then we asked our three AC how they voted. They had voted remain too and were just as shocked by the results. Out of ten women in one of my groups, I was the only one who'd voted remain. When I asked them what persuaded them to vote Brexit, they told me that that they felt overwhelmed by the number of foreigners and immigrants. I asked them what I had asked myself before I decided which way to vote, "What would UK economy look like"? Their answer was, "It'll be sorted and we'll manage as we've always managed". I must say that I was really alarmed by this because I thought and still think that we must have a road map for this before deciding one way or the other. I could just throw myself into an unknown territory just because I thought this is the only way to deal with foreigners or immigration. I couldn't let my emotions get in the way of what I thought was best for the whole country which would have naturally been best for my kids, grand kids, ... and myself. And the thought of this country falling in with America made me feel very insecure too. I find Europe a much more sensible bet than the USA.
