The Prime Minister David Cameron

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

On June 23rd,2016 the results of the referendum called by David Cameron, changed the political landscape of England. David Cameron, former Prime Minister led the campaign to remain during the referendum, however he was unsuccessful and an incumbent Prime Minister. Thus he had to resign, ‘The Prime Minister resigned on Friday 24th June’. Theresa May

The decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union has served in reshaping the way politics works in Europe. On June 3rd, 2016 a massive 30 million people came out to vote on the future of their countries. In the end, the vote to leave won 51.9% to 48.1%. Places like England and Wales both voted in favor of the exit, while Scotland and Northern Ireland voted overwhelmingly to stay in. While the long term effects of this decision obviously need time to be observed, the immediate economic impact has been somewhat mixed. The day after the vote was a cause for concern in that “the pound slumped after the referendum - and remains around 10% lower against the dollar and 15% down against the euro” (Wheeler 17). In contrast to this,

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

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

Apparently massive political decisions with far reaching socioeconomic repercussions should be made based on results from an indirect vote. Brexit was exactly that kind of decision, a whirlwind of policy and controversy. This summer past Englishmen and Englishwomen upsettingly voted to leave the EU. Both Kenneth Rogoff and Uri Friedman put in their two cents in the form of political articles regarding the outcome of the Brexit vote. Rogoff uses an aggressive narrative, making his opinion quite clear and concise whilst Friedman takes a more general approach, looking at more than one dimension of the Brexit vote. Friedman’s use of interdisciplinary sources and general opinions provide evidence for well supported arguments. The Rogoff article is without a doubt more succinct in writing, but with a set of underlying bias guiding the way, Friedman’s broader approach to writing makes his article an unbiased analysis of the Brexit vote. Rogoff’s aggressive writing style makes his argument very convincing, at the same time the Friedman

The EU Referendum was held on 23 June 2016 and a majority of the electorate – by 52% to 48%, voted to leave the European Union, transforming the remote idea of Brexit into a very real event for which the timer was set. Indeed, for many, Brexit was an idea that the government had been

U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron readys the country for another country-wide vote, this time for E.U. and Eurozone membership, but the P.M. is now coming under fire from some in his own party. This “in-or-out” referendum in June will give a final say on whether or not the U.K. will stay or leave the Eurozone. For many citizens staying in the E.U. is an attack on the sovereignty of their nation as well as a folly abandonment of the stronger british pound. P.M. Cameron is for the U.K. staying a part of the E.U. but some of his fellow tories

The second piece of literature that will help with answer the dissertation question is ‘Corbyn: The Strange Rebirth of Radical Politics’ by Richard Seymour. It has been referred as many spectators in the media as the fairest, fullest and frankest account of Corbyn and his rise to date. Cleary outlining the context of Corbyn’s victory and how deindustrialisation in has led to dealignment in British politics, claiming that it has happened across the political spectrum but been the most profound in the Labour Party. It focuses on whether Corbyn is the answer or solution to the problems that Britain faces in the 21st century or whether the it is the end of the Labour party and the revolutionary left in Britain. The text looks at how the unlikely

In 1980, the Leave vote poll peaked at 71%, which is just over two thirds of voters, and in 1991 the stay votes peaked at 70%. Between 1997 and 2012 the gap between the remain and leave vote have been very close, with each overtaking one and other many times. However, in 2012 the votes split back again, to an overwhelming majority for remain, however this gap got tied on February 15 with a 50/50 split. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, if the UK leaves the EU it will most likely cause a reaction of the Scottish population to have another independence referendum, which shows just how opposed the Scottish public is to the idea.

Some European friend asked me how I am going to vote in the UK-EU referendum. That is a question not only the majority of people in the UK and Europe is asking and contemplating, whether to be in, or to be out of the EU. I told my European friends I really don’t know how I am going to vote. I haven’t yet made up my mind. The politicians don’t know what will happen, and if the people in the UK vote leave the EU neither are they able to predict the outcome. This referendum has split political parties, and has brought political enemies to join forces. One side says vote to stay in, and the other side says, vote to get out. Both sides are spreading fear and scaring people. They keep repeating and spinning the same panic about what might or might not happen.

In the most simplistic way possible ‘BREXIT’ as it is known is an abbreviation for “British Exit”, this terminology refers to the referendum which took place on the 23 June 2016. The outcome of this referendum was that the people of the UK unanimously voted to exit the EU (European Union). Even though this vote has already taken place, the duration of the required notice period means that the exit itself will likely not occur until 2019. [ ] The PM (Prime Minister) at the time of the vote, David Cameron, who of which supported the UK remaining in the EU, opted to step down from his post on July 13th in light of this result. This meant that the Home Secretary and leader of the Conservative Party Theresa May became Prime Minister with immediate effect.

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

It is precise that we begin by explaining the meaning of the term “Brexit”; it is a portmanteau of the words “Britain” and “Exit”, which was just one of the terms for the results of the 2016 referendum, the other one was “Bremain” (Britain and remain) which was a lot less promoted and controversial. For the 2016 referendum, 52% of the votes went for Britain leaving the European Union, in a poll with 72% of participation, a total of 33.577.342 votes, 17.410.742 for Brexit and 16.577.342 for Britain staying in the European Union (BBC World, 2016). England voted for Brexit, by 53.4% to 46.6%, as did Wales, with Leave getting 52.5% of the vote and Remain 47.5%. Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU. Scotland backed Remain by 62% to 38%, while 55.8% in Northern Ireland voted Remain and 44.2% Leave (Hunt and Wheeler, 2016).

On 23 June 2016, The United Kingdom European Union membership referendum took place in the UK and Gibraltar. The result was decided by 33,577,342 eligible voters. 17,410,742 voters voted to leave the European Union; 16,141,241 voters voted to remain in the European Union. On 24 June 2016, Jenny Watson, the Chief Counting Officer, announced the final result of the referendum—leave. This was a breaking news, and it caused a global attention. Countless information and news were reporting by social media and networking. David William Donald Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom issued a statement in 10 Downing Street that he will resign in October, and he would continue to service to the British public in the coming weeks and month. He hopes that the new Prime Minister leads the UK toward a right direction under the new situation. Meanwhile, the global economy and international currency were affected by the referendum. Global stock markets were falling down drastically and the British Pound did drop from $1.50 to $1.35, which was the lowest value since the 1980s. Investors also lost heavily. For example, many financial analysts think that like Warren Buffett and other successful investors probably lost billions of dollars on average after the vote. In April 1975, there was a similar referendum held in the UK. At that time, 67.2 percent of voters approved that the UK ought to stay in the European Union. After forty-one years, the result is different. The desire to
