Brexit

出典：Lang-8

Some British people reportedly regret that they voted for leaving the EU. They are complaining that the leaders of the Leave campaign told lies.

The lies are mainly about the immigration issues and the UK's contribution to the EU budget. Many people took the lies as truth. After the referendum results were released, the Leave campaigners began to change their words, and people began to feel that they had been deceived.

There was a similar situation in Japan seven years ago. It was when the Democratic Party of Japan won the general election and came into power.

Before the election, the leaders of the DPJ said that there were great amounts of financial resources hidden by Japan's bureaucracy, and they would reveal them. The DPJ leaders also said that they would relocate the Futenma U.S. air base to a location outside Okinawa, or do away with it completely. Eventually they gave up both promises.

We have to be able to judge whether politicians' words are trustworthy or not. We have to try not to be deceived by them again.
