INTRODUCTION TO BREXIT
WHY BREXIT ?what is Brexit ?
rhrhrghhfgbgcbcvb
Britain has been debating the pros and cons of membership in a European community of nations almost from the
moment the idea was broached. It held its first referendum on membership in what was then called the European
Economic Community in 1975, less than three years after it joined. At the time, 67 percent of voters supported staying
in the bloc.
But that was hardly the end of the debate.
In 2013, Prime Minister David Cameron had promised a national referendum on European Union membership with the
idea of settling the question once and for all. The options offered to voters were broad and vague — Remain or Leave
— and Mr. Cameron was convinced that Remain would win handily.
That turned out to be a serious miscalculation.
As Britons went to the polls on June 23, 2016, a refugee crisis had made migration a subject of political rage across
Europe. Meanwhile, the Leave campaign was hit with accusations that it had relied on lies and that it had broken
election laws.
In the end, a withdrawal from the bloc, however ill-defined, emerged with the support of 52 percent of voters.
Brexit advocates had saved for another day the tangled question of what should come next. Even now that Britain has
settled the terms of its departure, it remains unclear what sort of relationship with the European Union it wants for the
future, a matter that could prove just as divisive as the debate over withdrawal.
• Most voters in England and
Wales supported Brexit, How did the
particularly in rural areas referendum vote
and smaller cities. That break
overcame majority support
for remaining in the
European Union among
voters in London, Scotland
and Northern Ireland.
• Young people
overwhelmingly voted
against leaving, while older
voters supported it.

Consequences of brexit on
uk?

• The U.K. has already suffered from


Brexit. The economy has slowed, and
many businesses have moved their
headquarters to the EU. Here are some
of the impacts on growth, trade, and
jobs
growth

CONCLUSION
From a purely economic
point of view a possible
British exit from the EU–the
so called “Brexit”–would
cause more economic
damage for the UK than
benefits. The rest of Europe
would suffer from lower
economic growth, too.
However the economic
losses they face would be
much lower.
