CIVIL LAW 2
Introduction
At present, the United Kingdom (UK) is a member of the European Union (EU). Brexit refers to
the decision of the UK government where the same decision to get separated from the EU. The
agreement will end the British Membership of 47 years. The current situation of Brexit is it is
expected that the UK will leave the EU by January 31, 2020. The withdrawal agreement is yet
pending to be approved by European as well as the British parliament. Many of the parties are
involved in the whole process where some of them do favor Brexit whereas some are in against.
The first move was made by David Cameron, the prime minister of the UK who served the
country on this position from2010 to 2016. In 2013, Cameron decided to raise a question for all
through a national referendum to know whether the UK should continue as a member of the EU
or should come out from the bloc. In 2016, a referendum has taken place on 23 June 2016, which
is known as the EU referendum as well as the Brexit referendum. As the name implies, under
this referendum, the electorates were asked to show their opinion about whether the UK should
leave the EU or not. The result made it clear where nearly 52% of votes have been received in
favor of the idea that the UK should get separate from the EU. The EU Referendum Act 2015 did
not mention anything about the implementation of the results. It provided a snapshot of what
people wanted. The high court held that the Referendum was not legally binding. To review the
statistics of the voting process, this is to state that most of the voters in England and Wales were
in support of Brexit. On the different side, voters in London, Scotland and Northern Ireland were
in favor to remain as a part of the EU. The issue did not end here and the second party who has
been involved is Theresa Mary May, the Prime Minister of the UK for the period 2016 to 2019.
