The British Government And The European Union

Brexit has caused a divide amongst the UK population, with 52 to 48 percent in favor of leaving. “Take back control” has been at the forefront of the Brexiter’s campaign, some arguing the UK Parliament had lost its power when it passed the European Communities Act of 1972.

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

British Citizens made a choice on the 23rd June 2016, to leave the European Union. The UK has been a member of the European Union (EU) since 1973 and the EU gives many economic benefits to member’s countries, such as free movement of labour, harmonisation of regulations and the stability of being in the world’s largest trade block within 28 united countries.

The UK government has worked hard to build up relationships across the EU. Let’s imagine the case made that, if the eurozone become a club within a club, UK’s natural place is as leader of the "outs" (the 10 states that have not joined the euro).

Before going into the benefits and costs of Brexit, the article did not go far enough to mention why Britain wants to divorce itself from the European Union (EU), but it is essential to understand this by drawing reasons from in class material. After WW2, most

The Leave voters argued these institutions not only no longer serve a purpose but also take control away from individual countries. The EU forces every nation state to adopt the same law policy and every law and policy made has to go through a shared decision making process. The Britons want to make its own decisions and to be responsible to lead their motherland to wherever they want. Abandoning the EU is a way for them to retain control over their fates.

European Union is remains one of unique and controversial organisation in nowadays which symbolise the association of European countries with shared sovereignty over socialism and imperial ambitions. President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy once sad that: “The age of the nation state is over and the idea that countries can stand alone is an ‘illusion’ and a ‘lie’” (Martin D., 2010). Nigel Farage, the leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party claims the opposite:”We must break up the eurozone. We must set those Mediterranean countries free”(BrainyQuate, 2014). Opinion about European Union are very divided, part of society who are support the monetary and security policy and other growing part which Eurosceptical and who believes that this kind of policies not just undermining the sovereignty of the state but also destroying the national entity. In this work will be analysed the influence of European Membership of the sovereignty of Great Britain and to what extend it has influence on the state.

The European Union(EU) contains just 7% of the world’s population, but produces 1/3 of the world’s Gross National Product (Delegation of the EU to the US). A single market merges all 28 countries of the EU into one economic free-trade zone with no trade tariffs imposed on one another. The EU accounts for 51% of all trade that the United Kingdom (UK) conducts with the world (The Data Team 2). Since its admittance to the Union in 1973, Britain’s economy has grown from 326 million Euros per capita to 6,116 million Euros per capita in quarter four of 2012. Despite its economic benefits, many have voiced concern over its undemocratic practices. In a summary of the court case Van Loos v. Netherlands Inland Revenue administration, the European

Opinion although somewhat divides itself on whether or not the UK residents are happy being within the EU, a recent pole held in the aftermath of the Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage debate on the UK and EU, left just a 35% margin on those saying if a referendum opposed itself, they would vote to stay a part of the EU, as opposed to the 65% of remaining residents who 's opinions differ.

The European Union (EU), as a supranational organization, has increased its stock of importance within the international realm through increased integration. Sector after sector has been targeted in attempts to create a more perfect union where all European member states are represented equally. That quest for deeper integration ultimately brought the founders of the EU at the threshold of defense and foreign policy. No one knows for sure the collective direction of the EU, only to say that the goals of the organization tends towards creating a federal state. That would mean that the EU would be the voice over all pertinent matters including foreign and security policy. It also happens to be that those two areas are held in high regard by

The European Union (EU), a partnership of 28 European countries, evolved from the European Economic Community in 1957 that contained six original members, not including Great Britain. The primary objective of the EU is to increase trade and movement of goods, services, and people, and to ensure economic growth between these nations. It also enacts legislation relating to justice and international affairs. On June 23rd, 2016 the Brexit referendum was held. The decision to leave won with a small victory of 52% with almost 72% of eligible electorates vote (Wheeler, Hunt).

In order for the vote to be official they must use a little known provision in their membership clause with the European Union called the Article 50 or the Lisbon Treaty. The European Union was a political and economic cooperation where participating countries used their collective financial and social practices to strengthen social and economic stability. “The European Union began in 1951 as the European Coal and Steel Community, an effort by six nations to heal the fissures of World War II through duty-free trade. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome created the European Economic Community, or Common Market” (Erlanger 2015). On February 20th 2016 David Cameron Britain’s Prime Minister proposed the Referendum for England that would allow a vote to remain or leave the European Union. While David Cameron is in favor of staying in the European his actions prompted many including London’s Mayor Boris Johnson and Justice Secretary Boris Johnson to pledge their support for the Leave campaign.

In what has since become known as Brexit, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which 52 percent of the voting-eligible population chose in favor of the country’s departure from the 28 country politico-economic union. When this political issue is analyzed, it is important to understand the reasoning behind Britain’s decision and the many factors that drove them to this resolution. The people of the United Kingdom decided to leave the European Union based on economic and immigration concerns, but ultimately their main goal was to preserve their country’s identity.
