The British Government And The European Union

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

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

It is hard to predict how all these proposals and demands will play out in the coming days and months. However, what is clear is that the United Kingdom will require to go through several hoops and through a prolonged period of uncertainty even though at the end it could

January 1st ,1973 is the day the UK became a member of the European Economic Community (EEC), (BBC.com, 1973). Which then at November 1st, 1993 became a pillar of the European Union (EU) as it is known today. The EU intends to achieve economic coordination and benefits among its members by changing regulations and laws concerning employment, EU budget, immigration, education, and culture. And Introducing agreements like free trade. Brexit is the Act of the UK leaving the EU. A referendum, which is a popular vote that aims to resolve a political issue, was made on 26th of June 2016. The UK has voted to leave the EU by 51.9% to 48.1%. This decision can have immense impact on both the UK and EU since many laws and regulations

The Brexit referendum has been a very controversial topic for the past 6 months. The referendum option surfaced due to the changes happening in the European Union as an organization. The European Union (EU), formerly known as the European Coal and Steel Communities (ECSC), is originally created under the vision of creating a trading agreement which ease the transaction between the members. However, the EU now not only creates a single-market system to ease the trading between members, but also holds power over the member’s government, parliament, and court. Before the crisis in 2008 which is caused by EU’s single-market currency, the Euro, the political impact caused by EU’s membership

In the next year the people of the United Kingdom will get a chance to choose their countries’ fate: whether they should leave the European Union. What makes this important is that it would be the first country to leave the European Union in a time when other European countries are either in negotiation or planning to join. It would be a big deal as the United Kingdom is Europe’s third largest economy. As the people are about to vote on their future, there are concerns as what would be the economical, social, and political consequences. While some wonder what would the benefits be if the United Kingdom left. In this discussion I will explore the United Kingdom in the European Union and the political, economical, and social benefits and

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).

The outcome of the Brexit referendum in June last year came as a surprise to a lot of people, though surveys showed that the outcome would be close. It was predicted that ‘Remain' would win with a tight majority, yet, politicians underestimated the resentment British citizens had cultivated against the perceived domination of the European Union. Citizens voted to win back sovereignty, but as the recent negotiations show the United Kingdom has won anything but that. This essay analyses how the EU dominates Britain in the divorce negotiations by employing John Scott's theory of structures of domination. Access to the single market is the main incentive the EU offers Britain for accepting their conditions of the Brexit. This characterises the EU as the

Countries band together to promote trade, defend human rights, protect the environment and repel threats. They sign treaties and join international groups, and each time they do, they give up a bit of independence. That happened in a big way with the creation of the European Union, a free-trade zone and global political force forged from the fractious states of Europe. The question always was, could this extraordinary experiment hold together? The people of the United Kingdom gave their answer in a June referendum, shocking the world by voting to leave the bloc they'd joined in 1973. The way many Britons saw it, the EU was expensive, out of touch and a source of uncontrolled immigration. They chose what's become known as Brexit. Seeing that

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.

In the United Kingdom, it seems an ever-increasing proportion of the population are becoming eurosceptic. Euroscepticism in the UK is the distrust and scepticism of the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union and is considered a controversial and important concept in British Politics. This increase in Euroscepticism in the UK has contributed to an EU referendum on the 23rd June 2016, during which the United Kingdom will either decide to continue as a member state or to leave the European Union. Euroscepticism within the United Kingdom is an increasingly relevant topic. I am going to explore why Euroscepticism is on the rise in the United Kingdom and what those contributing factors are. Firstly, I will clarify the history of the relationship between the UK and the EU, and how Euroscepticism is not a new phenomenon. I will then explain what the contributing factors to rising Euroscepticism in the UK are in the following order; the importance of Britain’s sovereignty and independence, the Eurosceptic nature of the British media, increasing immigration issues and terrorism threats, and the rise of anti-European political parties.

The majority voted for leave, but a lot of the citizens will not leave the EU and especially not the single market. The prostates for leaving the EU are that the nation will get more control over the rules. If UK leave EU will the power of economics, immigrations and a lot of more debates will be settle in the nation instead of in the EU commission.

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

There are few glaring events that will go down in history as the defining geopolitical events of this century. Great Brittan’s recent results from a referendum heldon on June 23, 2016 to decide if it should leave the European Union (EU) is one such glaring event. Brexit, the acronym for this referendum, is synonymous with the contemporary populist sentiment supporting nationalism, economic autonomy, curbing immigration, and defying elitist politicians who do not understand the reality of the working classes. As a result of feelings of lost power and economic insecurity by the working class people, the citizens of Britain voted 52% to 48% to leave the EU in hopes of industrial reform. It was a surprise even to those who voted yes to the referendum. Britten has a new Prime Minister, Theresa May, who still needs to work out how the exit will be negotiated within a two year time period.

On Thursday, June 23rd, 2016, the United Kingdom invoked Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union and voted to whether or not to leave the European Union. This June 2016 referendum, which is most commonly known as “Brexit,” had the largest voter turnout in the United Kingdom since the 1992 General Election, roughly 33.5 million voters. The referendum resulted fifty-two percent in favor of leaving the European Union. The separation process is difficult. By just agreeing to the negotiations to separate from the European Union, there has been significant political and economic impacts affecting the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. The day following the vote that favored leaving the European Union, the Pound, Britain’s currency, went from $1.50 to $1.28, the lowest it’s been in over three decades (Kottasova). In an effort to not deal with the EU negotiations, David Cameron, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, resigned from his position on July 13th, effectively ending his six year holding on the position. Brexit is an example of when nationalism and frustration mix together and motivates a society to make a decision possible which was unforeseeable prior. It can be deduced that the three contributing factors to the success of the Brexit vote are Economics, Nationalism, and Political Elitism. Understanding the history of the relationships between the European Union, political parties in the United Kingdom, and the citizen of the United Kingdom.
