UK Post Brexit

Improved Essays
Q: The UK has voted to leave the EU - a process that has come to be known as Brexit. In your opinion, what is likely to happen next? Remember your opinion, no copying and pasting from internet or magazines. We use Turnitin. Just read about this topic and express your opinion. How much?? Well, if you want an A (or 25 pts), I need something to read... don 't you think?
I feel that the UK post “Brexit” (leaving of the EU) is going to be a very rocky road to say the least. Personally, I agree with the outcome of the vote that leaving was the correct choice as they will likely benefit from the billions of pound sterling not being spent on the EU’s budget, but will be better able to direct these funds to the concerns of its citizens. I also feel that in time, the UK “should” (I say should because the world is a crazy place and in these times there are no longer guarantees of safety) be able to further secure its borders, specifically from the migrant and refugees that are constantly flooding into the UK with pressure from the EU.
Part of the problem regarding the uncertainty of the Brexit is just that, confusion. There was no real plan for what comes next. Yes, “Article 50” tries to make it sound like there are procedures in place for what should happen

However, I still think it’s possible to come to an amicable conclusion of their EU status, but what the UK or even the EU will look like once the dust settles is anybody’s guess. Ideally this economic crisis will be short-lived and the global economy should rebound in time. Unfortunately this is the beginning of a major global economic downturn. It is without question the “Brexit” is bad for global businesses around the world, and adds massive amounts of uncertainty to foreign markets, but ideally both sides can be somewhat accommodating, and end their EU status

    British politics is not what it was 20 years ago. Elements of New Labours constitutional reform programme such as The Human Rights Act 1998 have had some impact in affecting the sovereignty of parliament; yet in recent news there have been plans to replace it (Stone 2015). On the other hand, devolution has opened up space for other political parties to be recognized and consequently impacted the voting turnout for what were once the two main political parties (Conservative and Labour) that have governed the UK. Although evidence supports the fact that many elements have had some effects on British politics, it is clear to see that devolution has had the most impact despite minor…

    D2 – Evaluate the Impact of European Law on English Law The EU has a big effect on the law in the UK as all laws that are passed must comply with EU laws and regulations. If it doesn’t then the UK will be fined and anyone affected by this law will be able to take the UK to the European Court of Justice. Before we are able to understand the effect the laws made by the EU have on the law in the UK, we must understand what the European Union is, what it consists of and how it delivers its laws.…

    Political Cleavages

    • 5 Pages

    Political Cleavages Background Political cleavage and the idea of conflicts as an integral element in the creation and sustenance of political systems was first formulated by Seymour Martin Lipset and Stein Rokkan in 1967. They stress on the idea of historical conflicts as the primary reason for the manner in which political parties emerge and create their voter base. This is relatively true, as seen in the political, social, economic and religious agenda which informs party organization and doctrine and the impact of political cleavages on political participation and electoral volatility is significant. Cleavages, in the political context can be understood as political divisions which comprise three elements, “(1) a social structural element, such as class, religious denominations, status or education, (2) an element of collective identity of this social group, and (3) an organizational manifestation in the form of collective action or a durable organization of the social groups concerned.” (Bornschier 2009).…

    The idea that immigrants should “fit in” and are expected to adopt the British way of living is severely damaging to both newcomers and those born in the UK. From economic to moral and values, even the smallest subjects can lead to resentment and segregation from either side. Surely the time as come to end this primitive behavior. Quit trying to put milk in their tea and they might stop complaining about the weather. No-one should have the right to tell others how to live their lives yet sadly, insensitivity is part of the deal when moving to the UK.…

    Britons had a rough time transitioning into North America. They took land away from natives there through force and continued their hostile takeover to keep their claims. Once the “mainland” Britons realized that the settlements had been peaceful, they expected that the new colonies would become focused on creating profits for the British Empire. However, with a large distance between the two parts of the empire, those in America felt as if they were separate from the rest of the empire.…

During the conversation, I found that there were two phenomena that worth mentioning. One of them is that all of the group members had identical opinions on the immigration problem and seemed to be reluctant to perceive the opposite views. The other situation was that I found sometimes not each of the group members have equal chances to speak.…

    The migration system with the European Union is quite a simple arrangement; Treaties, Directives and Regulations are put into place for European Union (EU) citizen members. If you are not a European Union citizen then the system becomes more complex with boundaries for entry. European law is the highest form of law within the EU, for example it will overpower British Acts of Parliament. If you are a citizen of a member state that is a member of the European Union then you will be allowed residence under Treaty Article (TFEU, Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union) 20 where your citizenship is recognised. By being a member of the European Union you are able to move freely within other member states of the EU, this is confirmed in Article…
