In 1776, we saw the American Colonies breakaway from the ruling British Empire. Nearly 250 years later, we see the complete opposite. In a 2016 referendum, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Parliament voted to leave the European Union. The European Union, which wanted to unite all the European countries, is currently butting heads with the British Government and current Prime Minister Theresa May. This battle has been steadfast over the past year with multiple votes from the British people and government officials. If the votes pass, then Britain is on track to leave the E.U. by April of 2019. The lead up to this break differs between most people. However, the reason for this split is immigration, the safety for national …show more content…
The leave vote also surged in parts of the country where there was very little new or historical immigration, but where voters feared that immigration might also soon arrive in their neighborhoods. In London and Manchester, for example, there is a wide range of job opportunities in and around the city. Even with the influx of immigrant workers, the job opportunities have remained at a steady number. That is why a majority of the politicians and people living there have primarily voted to stay in the E.U. However, when considering cities in rural areas with a low population, those citizens chose to support Brexit. The reason be it that this new influx of immigrants is taking hard-earned jobs away from the British citizens and increasing unemployment among native Brits. If Britain opts to leave the E.U. then Parliament will have a better grasp on who and what enters their country. However, as of right now, the immigration will continue to rise to alarming levels in the coming years. Another big issue that comes up when discussing Brexit is the safety of the U.K.’s national security. In the past couple of years, many countries in the E.U. have experienced at least one major terrorist incident. In November of 2015, France experienced one of its most deadly attacks when gunman open fired in a popular nighttime district in Paris. The attack claimed the lives of around 120 people (Newton-Small, 2015). Other major attacks
Scalia was a very good person to all who may have stepped foot in the Courts. Of the political debates and that is how he enjoyed his life. He worked with renowned cadets and had a grand old time. I think that he will live in infamy for life. In political world because, he is so cherished and outcomes of the moment. He says what he wants and is very polite. But on thing that no one expected to happen did. (Scalia’s death at age 79, the high court had been divided between the appointees of Democratic presidents, all fairly liable, and five Republican appointees, all relatively conservative).
In Henry IV, Part 1, Shakespeare establishes a theme of a broken chain of authority through Hotspur’s vivid language revealing the Percy’s regret in originally supporting the illegitimate king. Despite originally supporting him, Hotspur shows true disrespect for the King through symbolism whenever he calls him a “thorn” and a “cankered Bollingbroke.” In Medieval times subordinates of the King were supposed to show the utmost respect to their superior. Disrespecting and insulting your King was both taboo and forbidden at the time. Hotspur’s language shows how truly disgusted he is with his King.
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

This article explains the “on-going” argument of whether or not Britain should remain in the European Union or leave. Prime Minister David Cameron vowed to keep Britain apart, winning the backing of most of most of his Cabinet and the goal of rival parties. Cameron has made it clear Britain is safer and stronger in the EU. However, much of Britain believes in opposition to their membership among the the European Union, leaving this as a constant
For migrants, the United Kingdom has been a really attractive destination, and according to the 1991 census, “5.5 per cent of the population of Great Britain, or just about 3 million of the total population are from an ethnic group other than white.” Migrants have come to Britain for economic and political push circumstances in their countries of origin, and Britain seemed to a place that they could come and pursue a life with a higher probability of success and happiness. Specifically, after WWII, there was a large amount of labor migration from the Caribbean, South Asia, and Ireland, as the country attempted to rebuild.
Since then, security and security risk management has been at the forefront for 10 years. Recently, Europe has seen many terrorist attacks forcing them to make changes. Some examples of this recent terrorism Began in March 2004, al-Qaida simultaneously detonated 10 bombs throughout the train lines of Spain’s capital city Madrid killing 191 people and injuring 2,050. In the United Kingdom (UK), London’s transportation network was attacked by suicide bombers killing 52 people and causing $52 million US dollars of damage. The UK has been one of the more successful European countries when it comes to catching terrorists. From 2001-2011, over 2,800 people have been arrested for terrorist related offences compared to the United States 154 people. In 2011, a single nationalist named Anders Behring Breivik bombed a government building in Oslo, Norway. One week later, he made his way to a Norwegian labor camp located 25 miles away and killed 69 more in another bombing. Recently, the past couple of years, a new terrorist group has begun to emerge called ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria). In November of 2015, a series of six attacks took place, 3 suicide bombers struck near the Stade de France followed by suicide bombings and mass shootings at cafés, restaurants and a music venue in central Paris. After this devastating attack ended, there were 130 dead and nearly 400 injured. The most recent attack by ISIS took place in March of 2016 at the airport in Brussels, Belgium. Two explosions had been set off killing 13 and wounding 81, and one hour later in downtown Belgium at Maelbech Metro Station, one bomb was set off killing 20 people and wounding
When immigrants immigrate to a new area, they usually take into consideration the pull factors of the new area. The factors that make them want to live there. A factor people often tend to take into consideration is the employment rate of the area. If an area is known to have a high employment rate, then that means that it's easier to get employed. If the specific area had a low employment rate, people would most likely not have a job. For example, in Canada, Newfoundland is the province with the highest unemployment
Britain’s vote to exit from the European Union, termed as “Brexit”, took the world by surprise as polls during the campaigns have shown that 80% of voters will vote to remain in the EU (Erlanger 2016). The Brexit was led by Justice Minister Michael Gove and former Mayor of London Borris Johnson. The main issues were in regards to the nation’s sovereignty and immigration. Proponents believed that the EU had changed its bureaucracy in the past few decades which diminished British sovereignty and influence. Brexit was also favorable to other nation’s parties who were anti Europe , for instance, the French National Front leader, Marine Le Pen (Erlanger, 2016). Opponents of Brexit argued to stay within the EU as it would allow countries of similar minds to have a stronger influence in the world and warned that it would be economically devastating if voters decided
As it's political . . . The EU, as well as National Socialism and Communism remain the three major ideological scourges of the 20th century. The UK survived the horrors of the concentration camps and Gulags of the European 20th century, intentionally staying away from the isms arising from Europe and the EU remains no different. The decision whether to remain or leave went a lot deeper than economics or social justice and reflects the drive towards a Eurocommunism, disguised as equality and foisted onto populations by elite politicians using treaties. Moreover, the BREXIT regional and social demographics reflected already indoctrinated Millennials, who mainly voted for socialist dependency, typical of a mass-produced ‘selfie’ generation.
At the end of June, Great Britain made the decision to leave the European Union. A referendum was held where more than 70 percent of the UK voted(more than 30 million people). It resulted in a 52 to 48 percent win for those in favor of leaving. When dividing the United Kingdom into its sovereign states the division can be seen clearly: England and Wales voted strongly for Brexit, while Northern Ireland and Scotland backed up staying in the EU. Following the decision to leave the European Union, Prime Minister David Cameron resigned his position and British politics went went into chaos. Although the economy was expected to drop it was able to withstand the effect of the decision. However, the pound has dropped to its lowest point in three decades, 1.28. As well as affecting the pound, Brexit has affected Great Britain socially in regards to immigration. In this new environment, some immigrants have reported that they have stopped speaking their native tongue in public. Mothers are worried about their children being bullied at school. Younger immigrants say they fear discrimination over jobs and educational opportunities. The negative effects of Brexit have already began to show as nativist sentiment increases and the pound continues to lose value. It is safe to say that this referendum will be marked in history as it continues to change Britain in the future.
Can you imagine that what will happen when the United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union
As with most things relating to Brexit, political pressure within the EU favors pulling UK-dominated activities affecting the EU into EU member states. The ECB has already proposed changes to bring the UK under their direct supervision for clearing activity post-Brexit.
The research within migration has pointed out that it is the level of net migration that should be studied to understand the overall change in the dynamics within the labour markets. The review of the longitudinal data from the UK has highlighted that the
To begin with, Brexit will detrimentally affect the easy migration of people in the European Union along with the immigration into their own nation as well. According to, “Brexit will have a tiny impact on immigration, experts say”, it states, “It predicts that net migrations will fall by a maximum of 15% to 285,000 a year but warns that trade deals with other countries after Brexit could wipe out that reduction. Global Future director Gurnek Bains said: "There has been considerable debate about the consequences of leaving the single market but very little about whether ending freedom of movement will have anything like the
