① According to Alexandder Betts, why did Brexit happen?

1. Britain is polarized and the people voting 'leave' do not trust the politicians.They fell the politicians don't repesent them. A lot of the voting 'leave', were alo people that havn't met other cultures personally, and therefore weren't as welcoming.

2. We need to focus on getting the foreigners integrated in the country, instead of giving in to nationalism and fearing them in the country.
We need more international relations between countries, for example free trade.

Why did Brexit happen?
According to Betts Brexit happened because the country was too divided. Also there was a lack of education about what the EU actually means for Britain. Britain too is also divided into countries with different viewpoints on, whether or not The EU is positive. Along with that, Brexit was more of a protest against lack of proper politicians.

What do we do next?
People have to work together, and the left and right wing also have to work together and have a more centered politic, that does not only think about money and spend, but also about other political matters such as education. The brits also need to put behind their mistrust to foreign people, refugees, immigrants and people who are different than them in general, which can probably be solved through communication and education.

Why?

A lot of people were afraid of globalization and felt that they were not represented by the politicians, and therefor used it as a "protest vote". People wanted to take back the control over their own lives

What to do next?

Politicians and our medias have to stop creating fear and xenophobia and instead start to create tolerance among the citizens, so we would become more openminded about globalization

1. According to Alexander Betts, the reason behind    Brexit is the fear of increased immigration and the    want for sovereignty. the want for taking back    control over their own lives.
2. It starts with us accepting the fact that there is a difference between our different political opinions.

The politics have moved closer together, "Contemporary politics is no longer just about right and left. It's no longer just about tax and spend. It's about globalization. The fault line of contemporary politics is between those that embrace globalization and those that fear globalization." This underlines the fear of globalization and stands in the way of the country to move forward.

What should we dooo!?
We have to achieve some goals, get the politicians to work together. We should have a society in Brittain like they do in Canada today: "It's the societies like Sweden in the past, like Canada today, where there is a centrist politics, where right and

left work together, that we encourage supportive attitudes towards globalization."

The people of Britain were afraid of globalization because of the fearmongering that the media and politicians spread. It was also an anti- establishment, becuas epeople wanted to take back their lives by getting more sovereignty and control over their own borders. It also happend because Britain is such a divided nation, with big differences in education and income.

What does Brett suggest:
He suggest that the "elite" liberal part of the nation needs to accept or adapt to the society that they live in, not the one that they wish they lived in. He also talks about educating more of the population, so the people can see that globalization is not a thing to be afraid of, but a thing that promotes peace and prosperity for all.
The politicians and media should also stop their fear mongering, as it brings nothing positive to anyone, not the British nor the rest of the world.
