INTRODUCTION
The European Union (EU) is a political economic union of 28 member states that are
situated mainly in Europe. The EU have authority to frame various policies and frameworks for the
welfare of the member state. It further have developed single market through a standardized system
of law that is applicable in all associate states. The regulations of European union objective is to
assure the unrestricted movement of goods, services and capital within the intrinsic market. The EU
assure common policies of trade and commerce (Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault,2015). The member
nations of European Union are, UK, Austria, Belgium,Croatia, Republic of Bulgaria, Germany,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Slovenia, Spain, Hungary, Ireland,
Malta, Netherlands, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Sweden and the France. These member states are required to agree unanimously to accept and
follow the policies of EU related with international trade, defence etc.
The Britain became part of the European Economic Community on 1 January 1973.
Recently, in June 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU in a advisory referendum. In this
respect, 52% voted in favour of UK decision to leave EU. The main concern begin taking this
decision was the nations aim to reshape the place of UK in the globe. In addition to this,common
public voted because they feel they are loosing the grip over the nation. There are many
implications of the decision taken by UK to leave the European Union such as disturbance and
fluctuation in economic, social and political factors. Due to the UK exit from EU , the stock market
was crashed, fall in British Pound, David Cameron the British prime minister has decided to leave
EU. Not only UK, but many of the other nations will face the consequences of this withdrawal. The
present study will emphasis on whether the withdrawal of UK from European Union is a right
decision.
Aim: To ascertain the impact of UK decision to leave from European Union.
Objective:
 To analyse the case of United Kingdom withdrawal from EU.
 To identify the implication of withdrawal of UK from EU on the economy of UK.
 To identify the implication of withdrawal of UK on member countries of EU
 To determine whether the decision of withdrawal of UK from the European Union a right

In order to attain the objective of the research and conduct the appropriate study, the
researcher has taken wide range of topic under consideration. Such as, influence of EU on member
states, reason for UK leaving the European Union, impact of this decision on the member state etc.
Out of various topic, scholar has preferred to carry out study on the withdrawal of UK from the EU
a right decision.
In order to select the present research project, there are many factors that are taken into
consideration. Since, decision of withdrawal of UK from European Union is the main issue at
present. The decision of UK is not only affecting the EU nations but also different emerging
nations. The UK was associated with European Union for more than 40 years. This alliance provide
numerous exposure to nation such as,common market, free trade across the member nation,
openness to other markets fair competition as result of EU policies etc (Mackey and Gass, 2015).
In addition to this aspect, due to single European market, the competition was accelerative which
further stimulated the British entities to enhance their creativity level. The alliance of EU and UK
helped Britain in improving the economy. Late in 1976, UK joined European Union was mainly
due to prevent the threat of political isolation. In addition to this aspect,country was not able to
prevent its economic decline and thus it joined the European Union. However, there are some
disadvantages also that were faced by UK by being a part of European Union. Since , the
integration of EU and UK open to the world (Brocke and Müller, 2013). However, this openness
was not beneficial as during the period of global financial crisis, the country found itself open to
bad foreign assets held by nationalised banks. Therefore, there are various factors that detail out the
the different impact of membership of European union and UK. The growing concern among
individual about the exit of UK from the EU and its impact on their working practices is widening.
The researcher in present study will try to provide understanding about the case of UK withdrawal
from European Union. Further, clear understanding will be shown about the impact of UK exit from
EU on other member state. The in-depth knowledge can be obtained from the study of withdrawal
of United Kingdom from European market (Ottaviano, Pessoa, Sampson and Van Reenen, 2014)
The current study is going to focus on whether the withdrawal of UK from European Union
appropriate or not. Description regrading the same are mentioned below as:
Title of the study- Is the withdrawal of United Kingdom from European Union a right decision?
Introduction- At present, the alarming issue is the impact of separation of UK from the European
Union. The consequence of this decision were directly witnessed after the results of votes were out.
The investors around the global stock market lost more than the equal of 2 trillion US dollars. By 27
June, there was market loss amounted to 3 trillion Us dollars. In addition to this, market worth of
the pound sterling against the US dollar was also reduced.

LITERATURE REVIEW
According to the views of Ruparel and Swidlicki, ( 2015) in the present scenario UK has
shown its intention to leave the European Union as outcome or referendum where around 52%
Britons voted to leave the EU. The separation is complex process that will result into various
modifications in political and economic areas. In order to manage the separation, the assistance of
Article 50 will be taken which is based on the Treaty of European Union. According the new
reports it has been identified that British Prime minister will make change in Article which will
make sure that UK leave the EU by the closure of financial year of 2019. Mahambare and Xu,
(2015) states that conditions governing the withdrawal of UK from EU have not established. As per
the views of Butler, Dagnis Jensen and Snaith (2016) the exit of United nations from European
market will benefit the nation as it will be no longer required to pay the membership fees to Union.
In the support of this, it has been stated by Matthews, (2015.) that last year Britain paid in £13bn of
fees and in the contrast paid spending of worth £4.5bn. Therefore, UK had to provide a total
contribution of £8.5bn. On the contrast Ruparel and Swidlicki (2015) stated that there are many
disadvantages of UK leaving the EU. Since its inception that, the European Union is a single market
in which no tax and duties are imposed on imports and exports between member states. Due to this
fact, 50% and above exports of UK are directly to the EU nations. In addition to this aspect, Britain
was also benefited with the commercial dealing between the European Union and the other global
powers. At present, European Union negotiating with the America to create the world's biggest free
trade area. Since, UK has decided to withdraw its membership from that European Union it will
lose the negotiation power.
In this respect, the EU is bargaining with the US to develop the globes biggest free trade
area. As per the opinion of Ruparel and Swidlicki, ( 2015) UK will lose the power of globes biggest
financial centres as it is not perceived as a gateway to the EU for the similar types of United States
banks . Overall, it can be stated that there are both positive and negative impact of the withdrawal
of UK from European Union. At present,the inward investment has been reduced after the votes as
the corporations or individuals are not sure about the consequence and results of impact of decision
of United Kingdom to leave European Union. (Matthews, 2015).
Some of the scholars believe with effect to this decision UK will re reinvent itself as independent
and supercharged economy. On the contrast, it is considered by few of the individuals that financial
centres will be diminished as a result of lack of surety among global investors. The other areas
related to production and trade are also likely to be impacted by then decision taken by UK to
6

withdraw from European Union.
According to the views of Moloney, (2016) due to the withdrawal of membership of
European union by United Kingdom it is possible that car-makers could scale back or even end
production in the country if vehicles could no longer be exported tax-free to Europe. Also, there are
many banks that are shifting their headquarters back into the EU. As explained earlier, The
decisions of UK to withdraw its membership have also affected the political scenario of the nation.
In this respect,the the communist leader,ruling from past 15 years David Cameron has decided to
resign from its post. In the views of various scholars the job level will be also affected due to the
UK decision of leaving the European Union. According to the market study, more than 3 million
jobs are related with the trade with the European Union. If the prediction are true and commerce
and investment are reduced than adverse consequence will be faced in terms of loss of job etc.
According the opinion of Butler, Dagnis Jensen and Snaith (2016) UK is more dependent upon the
European Union in terms of employment generation, trade etc. In the support of this aspect, 12.6%
of UK GDP is linked to exports to the EU. In addition to this aspect, European Union is the address
of 44% of UK exports and 60% of gross domestic trade is covered by EU membership and the
preferential access it apportion to 53 markets outside the EU. Furthermore, the impact of the United
Kingdoms withdrawal from the European Union will be faced by EU itself. With Britain
withdrawal, the alliance seven non-euro nation will account for only 15 per cent of EU economic
output, opposing to 30 per cent and more with Britain in. Brexit will increase Germany’s political
and economic supremacy in the EU.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction
It is important chapter that is done after the completion of the literature review part.
Research methodology can be defined as, the organized, abstractive analysis of the methods
employed to a area of study. Research is organized method that help in identifying the information
on a specific topic or issue. While the methodology part includes those processes that are used by
scholars for performing the research study. In simple terms it can be stated as systematic way of
solving the research problem in systematic manner. It further states how scientific methods can be
used to perform the research. The research methodology comprises of theoretical work of the body
of ways and principles accompanying with the branch of getting in depth learning. Research
methodology also help enterprise in the collection of viable data and information for the purpose of
making business decisions. Therefore, the research use different research methods for increasing
grounds for the results and examining it for responding research questions in the best possible
manner. In order to facilitate the present study of identifying does the decision of UK to withdraw
its membership from European Union is right of not the techniques of methodologies are used with
proper consideration. Therefore, both primary and secondary sources are used for the collection of
data.
Research philosophy
The term research philosophy can be defined as the evolution of logical reasoning that
incorporates modern ideas with previously constituted methods of thought through structural
phases. It can be also defined as the building of knowledge and the attributes of the gained learning.
With the aid of research philosophy the scholars can avoid the unimportant and inappropriate work
and focus on the main areas. Further,m it can be stated that research philosophy is effective method
that help in designing the background and scope of the study. There are two types of philosophy that
can be considered by the researcher. First is positivism philosophy which can be defined as theory
of research related to the views and assumptions used by natural scientist, in which the researchers
view the different group and its nature as phenomena to be deliberated, using facts and observations
as its plan of action to justify the phenomena. Therefore, the positivism philosophy mainly focus on
the reality of information instead on the perception of individual related to the study. On the other
hand, interpretivism philosophy opposes the positivism. It further involve human element as it
depends on the way researcher interpret the data obtained from the study. In the present study on
does the withdrawal of UK from the European union a right decision the interpretivism philosophy
8

will be used. The main reason for using this is that it will help in more understanding the research
topic instead of predicting.
Research Design
The research design can be stated as a elaborate discourse of method stating the style in
which research work will be performed. The research design can be also declared as the overall
strategy that can be chosen by investigator to incorporate different variables of study in a logical
and analytical manner. There are two types of the research design which can be used by research to
know that the decision of United Kingdom to withdraw its membership from European Union is
right or not. There are two types of research design, descriptive and explanatory. Descriptive
research involves of surveys and fact-finding interrogation of contrasting types. The key purpose of
descriptive research is describing the state of affairs as it predominate during the course of research.
The information is obtained without doing any changes in the environment. On the contrasts, the
explanatory research is mostly used to explain the cause and effect relationship. For the present
study, descriptive research design will be used so as to attain the objective of study is best possible
manner.
Research Approach
Research approach can be termed as the procedure in which the study is performed by the
researcher. It is effective method that help in finding the theoretical and philosophical objective of
the study. The key concern of research approach is to find out the actuality of the enquiry. The
research approach is of three kinds, deductive, inductive. In order to test the validity of the theories
the researcher can make use of deductive approach. This approach further moves from general
concepts to the specific (Neuman and Robson, 2012). On the basis of deductive approach, the
theory is either accepted or rejected. On the other hand, the inductive approach is important process
that help in development of new theories. It further moves from the specific concepts to general
one. The main concern of inductive approach is to develop new theories. In the present study on
does the UK decision of remove the membership from European Union is right or not, the inductive
approach will be used. It will further help in providing untested conclusion which are important to
develop a conceptual framework.
Data Collection
It is important method that help understanding the ways of gathering the data. It is important
for the researcher to use appropriate method for data collection so as to attain the objective of the
study in best possible manner. There are tow methods that through which data can be collected,
primary and secondary (Mackey and Gass, 2015). The primary method is one where information is
9

gathered for the first time. It further enable the use of methods like, focus group, questionnaire,
interview and surveys etc. on the other hand, secondary methods are those techniques that help in
gathering the information that is published in other studies or is readily available. It further involve
the use of methods like, books, journals, published reports, census reports etc. In order to complete
the present study, the research can make use of both primary and secondary data collection method.
Data analysis
The data analysis and evaluation is next step after the collection of data from various
sources. Data analysis is the procedure which enables the investigators to make effective use of
various statistical and logical techniques in a systematic and organized method for drawing,
elaborating, condensing and assessing the data. The data analysis is a method that help in doing
scrutinizing of data. The data analysis can be performed with the help of two methods, quantitative
and qualitative(Silverman, 2016). The quantitative data means the information that can be measured
in terms of quantity. It further enable the use of correlation, regression and various statistical tools
and techniques for assessing the data. On the other hand, qualitative research is more focused on the
quality of information. In the present research, the data analysis will be done through qualitative
analysis. In this respect, thematic analysis will be done where different themes on the basis of
results of qualitative data will be prepared.
Sampling
Sampling can be outlined as method of selecting the units from population for the purpose
of completing the study. Sampling is the method that is fundamentally used by researchers for
studying from a a couple of chosen items. The kind of small selection like this is better known as
sample . There are different types of sampling methods that can be used by the researcher for the
present study based on whether the decision of UK to exit from European Union was right or not. In
the present study the random sampling method will be used. The main feature of this method is that
each individual in the population of interest has a equal chance of selection. Further, sample size is
the number of observation that will be the part of study (Gast & Ledford, 2014).. For the present
study, the sample size of 50 respondents will be taken which will be basically citizen of UK.
Ethical consideration
It is important for the researcher to perform the study ethically. Therefore, it must assure the
data used in the study is properly rephrased so as to avoid the chances of plagiarism. The
information used from secondary sources must be properly cited.

CONCLUSION
Summing up the present study it can be concluded that exit od Britain from European Union
is appropriate and beneficial for ensuring long term growth of the nation. From the above data
analyusis it can be concluded that economy of the country will be affected in a positive sense after
the withdrawl. It has been observed from the research that UK'S trade will improve and high growth
rate will be observed because of exit of Britain from the European union. Political environment of
the nation will be affected and many types of changes will be observed in the business environment.
The decision of UK to withdraw from EU will also influence working of other countries. Initially
alliance between European Union and UK supported in developing the economy of Britain. High
financial revenues were gained by corporate houses by selling their products in diverse
geographical areas. The world is facing financial crisis and decision of UK to move apart from EU
will affect the overall world economy. Working and operations of Small, medium and large
enterprises will get affected after this decision of the state. It has been evaluated from the present
study that job market in UK will be affected and employment opportunities will decreases. It will
led towards raising inflation in the country and purchasing power of the people will also be
decreased. Negative effect will be shown in the employment market and major influence will be on
college pass students who will find it difficult to get jobs as per their qualification. It can be also
concluded that
The government will be needing to formulate new policies and legal frameworks for
rendering guidelines to corporate houses. EU has made some restrictions on forming policies but
after the exit state will be free to formulate laws as per their convenience. Global business of
business corporations will be affected and trade barriers will be strongly felt by enterprises working
in the nation. Freedom for transferring and moving goods and commodities will be hampered and
free trade will aslo become difficult. It has been observed and assessed from the data that many
disadvantages and negative facts will be there on business environment of UK due to exit decision.
Economy will suffer and various companies will face difficulty in selling their products in EU
natuions and other countries of the world. Britain is facing many financial troubles and it consist of
bank debts, bad foreign assets and low growth of economy. Analysis of data shows that many
disadvantages will be observed in the nation due to the decision of state to get withdrawal from EU.
Small entrepreneurs will face difficulty in raising funds for financing their business. Existing
corporate houses will also get troubles in finding investors for their business and overall operations
of the country. It can be concluded from the present study that decision of Britain to exit from EU
will render various disadvantages for the nation.
18

Future areas of research: In the coming times the research can be conducted regarding the impact of
UK exit from European union on the economy of UK as well as other nations. The study can be
done regarding how the decision has impacted the commercial sector of the country. Also, in depth
learning can be done how trade has affected due to this decision. Does the car manufacturing
