Has a new wave of centrifugal politics begun? Are citizens in the over-reaching, debt-saddled bureaucracies of the European Union and the United States of America coming to life?
Among those outside the United Kingdom interested in that country’s decision to leave the European Union are members of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM).
The motives for a “Brexit” and a “Texit” are similar. At issue is sovereignty: should un-elected bureaucrats and lobbyists in Brussels and Washington DC dictate the lifestyles and livelihoods of individuals in the UK and Texas?
For many British voters, the freedom of movement across Europe, as per the Schengen Agreement, along with the EU’s efforts to increase immigration from places like Turkey and Syria raise concerns about fiscal costs, cultural dissolution, and terrorism.
Likewise, since the UK joined the European Economic Community in 1973, reams of regulations have subjected citizens to the radical idealism and corrupt mercantilism of special interests and corporations which use the EU to enact social and economic policies in their favor.
A similar phenomenon, also decades in the making, has created tension between Texas and the federal government in Washington DC. Local attempts to curb the public funding of abortions, to eliminate race-based college admissions policies, and to police the border with Mexico have been stymied by the Supreme Court, the White House, and Congress.
