Brexit and Political Structure of UK
The UK seceded from the European Union on 31 January
2020. Why did it happen and what effect would it have on
European countries?
This is a very important lesson in geopolitics that will make you
think about what is nationalism and what is a country and what
is nation. The UK's own story is very interesting. It is a country
made up of four countries, including Scotland Wales,
Noetherian Ireland and England these four countries make the
UK a referendum in Scotland in 2014 before the Brexit
referendum whether Scotland wants to be part of the UK or not
Scotland wants to be an independent country like Ireland 55%
said we want Scotland to be part of the UK. The 28 countries of
Europe came together to form a union which is called the
European Union. If you look, the European Union itself is a
country there are no borders, no restrictions one of all these
European countries the same currency is used
Why Brexit Happened
The Brexit actually the withdrawal of the UK from the
European Union. Why did UK decide that we should not be
part of the European Union?
Reasons of Brexit were Islamophobia, identity and
unemployment issues but the real controversy arose when the
European Union decided that all European Union countries
will have to accept a limited number of refugees in proportion to
its population and that decision angered many. The decision
made some people realize that we should not be part of the
European Union so that we can make our own decisions
because EU has enough power that can build rules and
, regulations. All European countries have to follow whatever
rules and regulations the EU makes. UK’s people feel that there
has too much power to EU. Citizens of UK do not like this thing
to the EU dictatorship so they are against the EU. They don't
want in own country refugees and immigrants. Who voted for
Brexit were mostly low-income people who were unemployed,
there were living in the countryside, and they feared that the
people of UK would lose their jobs because of immigrants the
people of the UK decided to tighten the immigration restrictions
and close of free flow. 51% voted to leave the EU, and 49%
who did not want the EU to leave were not from the UK and so
on January 31, 2020, UK seceded from the European Union.
Effects of Brexit
The massive impact of the Brexit will be felt in the times to
come as tariffs will now be placed on imports and exports as a
result, trade relations between the UK and the EU will be
largely severed. Economically, the European Union is very
well established. If a country is weak in something, then another
country can benefit from it. If someone wants to start his
business in another European country, he will get access. The
establishment of European Union in the market of all
European countries is beneficial in every way. But now after
the tariff, goods will become more expensive local UK
companies will now have to bear the brunt of the financial loss
because now UK’s companies cannot do business in the
European Union countries freely without any tax nor can UK
companies employ people from any EU country in their
company. As a result of all these restrictions, many UK
companies have moved to other EU countries. There is also a
huge loss of employment for the UK’s citizens that when UK
was part of the EU, any UK citizen could go and work in
