On March 29 Prime Minister Theresa May will trigger Article 50. Article 50 is the EU legislation that sets the rules for how a member state can leave the organization. It’s part of the Treaty of Lisbon, which was signed in 2007 and went into effect in 2009. The law is vague on the specifics, for exiting because no country has ever invoked Article 50 in the past. The EU viewed the possibility of a country leaving as an unlikely and unwanted possibility. Britons have been waiting for this moment, which starts the formal process of their country leaving the European Union.
Brexit is a word use for saying the UK is leaving the EU, merging the words Britian and exit to get Brexit. This is the same way the Greek got its name Grexit when its

They impose too many rules on business and charge billion’s a year in membership fees for little in return. Britain also stated that another reason they want to leave is because of sovereignty and democracy. Britain wants the UK to take back full control of its borders and reduce the number of people coming to work and live there. In other words, they want immigration control. One of the main principles of EU membership is free movement. This means that you don’t need to get a visa to live in another EU country.
There will be still be other countries in the EU and others wanting to join in the future therefore English will still be the common language once the exit is complete, because it is best for business, but disliked by France.
There are some who want to stay because they feel that a medium size island needs to be part of a larger like-minded country to have real influence and security in the world, and that leaving would be economically costly.
Although the final bill is not known, one thing is clear EU leaders will want to show there is a price for leaving the EU, while the UK will try its hardest to minimize it. With such large sums at stake there is plenty of negotiating to
With diminishing control of what happens in Britain, the British people decided it was best to vacate the union. The British were dealing with the laws given by the European members who were not living and experiencing the country themselves. To provide an example of a ghastly law given to the British people, they, as part of the European Union, were only allowed to catch 20% of the fish swimming in British territorial waters. What this meant was that tens of thousands of jobs were lost and they were not able to use one of the most significant resources given to them, as Britain is surrounded by ocean. Nigel Farage, Leader of the UK Independence Party, says that his fellow Englishmen, “effectively gave away the ability to look after one of our greatest resources to a bureaucracy based in Brussels.” Because of the way the government was set up, “Not only could the voters not change anything, but the institutes themselves are incapable of reform.” With an already maimed government, the European Union was creating more problems than it was solving. The British people had enough of giving up their rights as British citizens so the European Commission could tell them how to live. Therefore, with problems like those arising from the Union and with no hope to resolve them, Britain filed for secession and pulled out of the union

Immigration – the UK does not have enough control over its borders. Under the current EU’s fundamental right of free movement, any citizen of a member state is permitted to move and work in the UK without first obtaining a visa, and in some circumstances, access to benefits. Additionally, the migrant crisis that has found its way to the UK’s doorstep in Calais, France has created a cause for concern as migrants endlessly try to make it to UK soil and claim asylum. By leaving the EU, Brexiters argue, the UK government will have the power necessary to stop and control the migrant invasion.
The United Kingdom should not leave the EU because it would hurt trade, mess up it's own economy, and may tear apart the EU.
In the film Mulan, it displays many cultural aspects of what China was like in the Han dynasty. The film is about a girl called Mulan, who ignores her gender role as a female to secretly go in her father’s place in the army in fear of him dying and ends up saving all of China. I’ll be discussing two events that happened in this film to discuss the gender roles of women and family honour.
Since 1973 when the British first joined the European Union their membership has been a controversial issue. When conservatives in the United Kingdom won the general election in 2015, their election manifesto promised to hold a referendum on whether or not the United Kingdom should stay or leave the European Union. The referendum also referred to as “Brexit” is scheduled to take place by the end of 2017. The United Kingdom initially joined the union to be part of the common market for the purpose of trade and to develop international relationships. The main argument for those who are pro Brexit is that being part of the European Union is too costly for the United Kingdom, that the EU has grown to large, has interfered to far into
What is Brexit? Brexit is the shorten way of referring to two words which are “British” and “Exit”. The situation that British exited from European Union. So, what is European Union? According to (Hunt,A. & Wheeler,B. 2016) The European Union - often known as the EU - is an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries. The EU has a single market which is the agreement between the countries’ member in EU to allow goods, service, money or even people to move freely within the EU. The Single market was to create job employment, increase the trade and lower the prices. Even though, the European Union has many advantages but why British wanted to leave the Union? Because there are some disadvantages that had made British
Brexit is a term commonly known as Britain exiting from European Union membership. The historic referendum on the UK and EU membership held on June 23, 2016. Although majority of Londoner wanted to stay with EU, 52 percent voters voted to support the leave campaign to leave European Union. Since World War two the world saw a rising trend of economic development and globalization in Europe. Brexit has ended this trend. Since United
The European Union was established as an economic and political partnership between 28 European Countries (European Union, 2015). The UK has been stayed in the EU for over four decades from 1973 to now. In 1975, Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson had ever held a referendum on Britain’s membership in the EU and the voting result is to stay in the European Community. Recently, the article (BBC NEWS, 2015) reported that the UK has a plan to hold the second referendum by the end of 2017 to decide whether or not the UK should stay in or leave the European Union. This might be a significant referendum that may bring lots of impacts on the UK’s economy.
Britain withdrawing the European Union has always been an ongoing discussion, one of the many goals pursued by some British political parties, along with groups of people and individuals. Leaving the European Union is a right that every country that is part of the Treaty on the European Union has (Article 50 of the treaty), and this is what the Conservative political parties that proposed the referendum are triggering to impulse a faster withdraw from the EU; specially the new prime minister Theresa May. There had been another referendum in 1975, but it resulted in
The harsh truth is that our economy accounts for just 3% of the world economy and that figure shrinks every year. Despite the EU knocking down trade barriers, the 'NO ' camp claim that our poor trade with other countries are refraining us from economic prosperity. Again, this is false. UK sales to the BRICS nations was only 6.6% of our exports in 2012. This is paltry compared to the EU, who make up the majority of our exports. And no wonder, with free access to a market holding 500 million consumers, British businesses are taking full advantage of this. The nations that supposedly hold the key to our future don 't even want us to leave the EU. The Australia foreign minister commented that, "strong, active membership of the EU" contributes to the power of our economy. The USA President, Mr. Obama, recently said, "EU membership is necessary to keep UK 's global influence." And China, which is seen as the golden nation for us to export to, has briefed that they see Britain as, "an old European country only good for travel and study." Back home, our great businesses have talked out against leaving Europe one by one. A survey for CBI found 78% of our big employers reject leaving the EU. A separate survey found that 84% of small businesses wanted to stay in the single market. And large corporations such as Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup and JP Morgan have all said they 'd switch new business to central Europe. A
The UK people decide to leave the EU (British exit, or Brexit) through a referendum on June 23, 2016. The stock market reacts negatively to the results of this Brexit referendum. The value of the pound immediately drops. The reasons behind this referendum are that during the EU membership, the citizens of the United Kingdom feel that the sovereignty of the state is not enforced, the issue of immigration and the amount of contribution to the EU budget which is not comparable to that returned by the British.

It is the countries England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, which now form their own independent laws and trade conditions. In this article, will the following issues be discussed; stay and leave arguments, pros and cons, soft or hard Brexit and lastly the economic effect of the Brexit.
Life can throw a lot of gifts and obstacle right in your face. Good or bad, the best way to cope with a gift or obstacle is to tuck them tight in your pocket and learn from them. Everyone has their own story, but everyone can relate to each other somewhere in the journey of life. A few of the small things that have affected my life in a big way are high school football, instagram, and sports injuries. High school football, probably the biggest impact on my life, has taught me morals, lessons, and discipline that I feel I will carry and use throughout my life. Football is so much more that just a game. It offers a sense of different type of knowledge one can use. Another big impact that has thrown me for some downs but however more ups
Brexit, or the secession of the United Kingdom from the European Union, has become the number one political discussion in Britain, and is the topic of an upcoming public referendum. This referendum vote will take place on June 23rd 2016 and will ask British citizens to vote Yes or No on retaining membership in the European Union. Many of the current British politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron, are in favor of remaining in the EU. Though some say reforms and negotiations are needed in order to do so. While there are also a number of other politicians that believe leaving the EU is the best choice. UKIP (UK Independence Party) leader Nigel Farage and London Mayor Boris Johnson are leading the march towards independence. Both
