Brexit

Brexit 

“What does it mean ‘to leave the EU’?”

Leaving the EU can mean many things depending on the arrangement. The British had a referendum (a vote on a single decision) to decide whether the people wanted to be part of the EU or leave the EU. The vote to leave was won by 52% to 48%. Britain agrees with the rest of the EU to leave by the end of summer 2019. It means EU law is unlikely to be deemed generally more important than UK law, although the more elements of the European trading system Britain signs up to, the greater the role Brussels(Belgium) will still have in Britain’s affairs — even though the UK will no longer have any influence in setting policies for the whole of the EU.
