it appears that British citizens will lose many basic benefits when it comes to Brexit. I prefer they re-elect and remain in this organization as they used to. Not only British citizens are definitely affected by this decision, EU member countries but other countries as a whole. Just imagine UK is like a part in an entire body-the global economy. if the entire body unfortunately loses some part, it will become weak and malfunction. Pls stay UK!!!!!!!!!!!
