One Direction's Niall Horan Criticizes Brexit Decision: 'It's a Sad Day'

Like many other musicians, Niall Horan is deeply disturbed by the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union.  

“It's a sad day, the One Direction member tweeted today (June 24). “The economic impact that this is going to have is definitely going to make those voters regret their decision.”

Horan is referring to the U.K. electorate’s majority decision to vote in favor of the Brexit plan. This means the United Kingdom is destined to withdraw from the 28-state European Union, which was assembled after World War II to foster trade and unity amongst its members.
