If the countries of Europe are effectively "sovereign states" why did they give Britain such grief for seceding?

Because Britain was acting against everyone's best interests, including their own.

@BlueVeins That's the British for you! They did it once before, in the 1530's

In the States a lot is being talked about Voter Fraud etc, I think Europe knows there was something just not right with the Votes here in Britain, Scotland voted against Brexit, Ireland (our part) voted against it, and I believe Wales did also 4 Sovereign States the vote went 3-1 the 1 claim the Victory 馃

In the United States, the southern states tried to secede. The civil war resulted.

In such unions, there are economic agreements and monetary agreements. The South had to print their own money. Once they divorced themselves from the great manufacturing bases in the north, they began to experience agrarian poverty. Their allies became the enemies of the north.

@D3cad3nt I live in the North. It's not just an American thing. Any union of states or countries can experience a state or country that would like to secede. Texas used to talk about secession a lot, in recent times, but they haven't tried it yet.

@4meAndyou I see. Like Scotland has been trying to leave the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

@D3cad3nt Yes. My father's family actually immigrated to the states in the late 1880's from Gloucestershire, and I can't imagine the troubles, because to me, the UK seems awfully small to contain that level of strife. Re: Brexit, I can imagine that...because the UK is an island.

As usual it all boils down to money. In this case the control of it.

@DeWayfarer Its said the Bank of England still controls money around the world 馃寧

@D3cad3nt banks know no countries allegiance. Not the big ones.

It sets a bad precedent.

Edit: stupid autocorrect!
D3cad3nt22-25, F
@Dolimyte That sounds like legalese!
Because they party alone. 馃槀
