What is Brexit?

Brexit is a linguistic blend of words that combines ‘British’ and ‘exit’. It means the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union.

The United Kingdom became a member of an international political and economic community called the EU or European Union in 1973. The EU is supposed to be a unified trade and monetary body consisting of 28 member countries which allows for free borderless movement of trade, goods and people. Over time the EU expanded its role and the economies of the member nations became heavily intertwined. This trade structure allowed the EU to become the world’s second-largest economy after China. In 2018, the GDP of the EU was USD 22 trillion while China’s was USD 25.3 trillion. Find more about UK universities, courses and intakes

On June 23, 2016, the UK voted to leave the European Union as a majority of the country felt that the free movement of people and trade has negatively affected the UK which resulted in a conflict of ideals between the major parties and their supporters. Another issue that was the primary concern of voters who were in support of Brexit was immigration. In 2015, 1.2 million refugees from Africa and the Middle East poured into Europe and on New Year’s Eve 2016, gangs of refugees across Germany went on a crime spree that involved theft and sexual assault. As a result, many EU countries sealed their borders and regulation of immigrants was the primary reason the UK majority voted in favor of leaving the EU.
