Now that the dust has settled on the United Kingdom's BREXIT referendum, it is fair to say Britain's exit from the European Union – 50 per cent versus 48 per cent will undoubtedly have serious consequences for the country's financial wellbeing
in the future.

Nevertheless how could the UK remain with the basket-case EU where it contributed more than it received? Immigration of refugees was virtually unrestrained with free
borders and so on – all out of control effectively.

Now let's look at New Zealand – perhaps bumbling, stuttering Prime Minister John Key should look at instituting a NZ Exit binding referendum to see if Kiwis support his Government's race-based policies, handouts, the unrestrained fabricating of past Kiwi history, the stealthy freshwater sell-out and the ill-conceived Foreshore and Seabed policies plus ballooning immigration.

NZ First leader Winston Peters is absolutely right - immigration and separatism doesn't and won't work!

I can confidently predict that 80 per cent of Kiwis would not support Mr Key or his Government's policies on this front.

The question is, does Mr Key have the guts to take a binding referendum vote to stop this politically correct theory of picking something up by the clean end – headlong plunge into separatism?

The short answer is ‘No'.

Another thought perhaps the South Island and Stewart Island should petition to secede from Aotearoa New Zealand's North Island and create South New Zealand – SEXIT – not a bad idea.

Roll on 2017 General Elections.
