Brexit



All you need to know about the UK leaving the EU.

Brexit is the scheduled withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European (EU). It follows a referendum held in the UK on 23 june 2016, in which 52% of those voting supported withdrawal. The UK government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), starting a two-year process which was due to conclude with the UK withdrawing on 29 March 2019. As the UK Parliament refused to ratify the negotiated withdrawal agreement and Declaration on Future Relations, that deadline has been extended twice, and is currently 31st October 2019. UK law requires the government to seek a third extension if no agreement is reached before the next meeting of the European Council on 17-18 October.

Withdrawal is advocated by Eurosceptics  and opposed by pro-Europeanists, both of whom span the political spectrum. The UK joined the European Communities (EC) in 1973, with continued membership endorsed in a 1975 referendum. In the 1970s and 1980s, withdrawal from the EC was advocated mainly by the political left e.g in the Labour Party’s 1983 election manifesto.

From the 1990s, the Eurosceptic wing of the Conservative Party grew , and led a rebellion over ratification of the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which established the EU. In parallel with the UK Independence Party (UKIP), and the Cross-party people’s pledge campaign, it pressured Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron to hold a referendum on continued EU membership. Cameron, who had campaigned to remain, resigned after the result and was succeeded by Theresa May and presently Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson, the present Prime Minister of the UK has promised to deliver Brexit.
