WHAT IS BREXIT?

WHAT IS BREXIT?
Brexit is the term used to refer to the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union (EU) and is a shortened version of British Exit. On June 23, 2016, the UK decided to officially sever ties with the EU. This monumental decision came as the result of a referendum—or public vote of nearly all citizens of voting age—in which more than 30 million people voted.

THE ARGUMENT FOR BREXIT

The push to leave the EU was advocated mostly by the UK Independence Party and was not supported by the Prime Minister, David Cameron. Members of the UK Independence Party argued that Britain’s participation in the EU was a restrictive element for the country.
As one of the EU’s primary initiatives is free movement within the region the party’s main arguments centered around regaining border control and reclaiming business rights. In addition, supporters of Brexit cited the high EU membership fees as a negative aspect of participation in the EU. It was argued that if the UK separates itself from the EU, these fees can be used to benefit the UK.

THE ARGUMENT AGAINST BREXIT

The Conservative Party and the Prime Minister were strongly in favor of remaining with the EU. As a result of the decision to discontinue its participation in the EU, the Prime Minister has made a public statement that he will be relinquishing his position. He believes that the country needs a leader with the same goals as the majority of the country. He has promised a new PM will be in place by early September.
The first phase of ongoing Brexit talks includes the rights of expats in Europe and EU citizens in the UK as well as the Brexit bill and the issue of the Irish border.
Under Article 50, Britain is scheduled to finally leave the EU by the end of March 2019.
Mrs May has said she plans to leave the EU's single market to regain control over immigration and end the supremacy of EU laws.
The Prime Minister is also pushing for a 'bold' EU free trade deal, while the UK is expected to come out out of the customs union in its current form.
MPs and peers will be given an vote on the final EU deal after two years of Brexit talks come to an end.
