Britain is facing the most difficult and perhaps important period in its modern history. The British electorate is divided. The voting this week will have a major effect on the country’s social and economic future. But it appears the election results will do little to end political divisions that could extend into the next generation. During the 20th century, Britain fought alongside and against Europeans. The peace that followed World War II helped make the British economy grow strong and many of its citizens wealthy. This election will decide whether Britain’s relationship with the European Union ends or continues.
