Introduction
On 2013 a question was made referring to this theme, but it wasn’t that
serious. The question was: Should UK leave the EU or not? But now… In June
2016, the UK voted by referendum to ‘Leave’ the EU. Majorities in Scotland and
Northern Ireland voted ‘Remain’, but the total UK ‘Leave’ vote was 52%. Article
50 of the Lisbon Treaty sets out how a Member State leaves. Article 50 is a
plan for any country that wishes to exit the EU. It was created as part of the
Treaty of Lisbon - an agreement signed up to by all EU states which became law
in 2009. Before that treaty, there was no formal mechanism for a country to
leave the EU.
Part A
On 2013 a question was made referring to this theme, but it wasn’t that
serious. The question was: Should UK leave the EU or not? But now…
What's happening now?
The fifth round of monthly Brexit talks between the UK and the EU is
taking place, with a decision due to be taken by the EU later in October on
whether or not enough progress has been made on "separation issues"
to be able to start talks about the future relationship between the UK and the
EU after Brexit. Theresa May tried to speed up progress with a speech in Florence,
Italy, in which she called for trade with the EU to continues as it is for two
years after Britain leaves, but EU figures say not enough progress has been
made yet. EU negotiator Michel Barnier has said it could be "weeks or
months" before the talks move on to the next stage.
What does Brexit mean? It is a word that
has become used as a shorthand way of saying the UK leaving the EU - merging
the words Britain and exit to get Brexit, in a same way as a possible
Greek exit from the euro was dubbed Grexit in the past.
Why is Britain
leaving the European Union? A referendum - a vote in which everyone (or
nearly everyone) of voting age can take part - was held on Thursday 23 June,
2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union.
Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than
30 million people voting
Part B
HDI Rank: 16
Life expectancy at birth: UK people is expected
to live at least 80 years, this without counting you can have an accident or a
disease.
Expected years of schooling: United Kingdom people
is expected to go to school at least 16 years which it means they will start or
finish high school.
GNI Per Capita: 37,931 this is the dollar value of a country's final income
in a year, divided by its population. It reflects the average income of a
country's citizens.
We
think context doesn’t really affect the situation. United Kingdom just wants
more control, more independence, be more sovereign.
Part C
Actors involved:
· European
Union: They don’t UK to leave because they doesn’t think that it’s a good
decision and they have worked together for many years and everything has been
good.
· United
Kingdom: They want more independence, they want to be free of a superior
authority.

Solution:
If
UK doesn’t leave the EU they will have some new agreements for their benefit
but with specific things.
If
UK leaves the EU they will lost many of their advantages. People that want to
leave and enter a country will have to use a visa. Also, they can lose
international agreements, economic stability and some countries like Scotland.
Conclusion:
It
is important that people in their countries speak up and form part of the
decisions in which they are involved. These decisions may bring good or bad
consequences of many types, economic, social, and this can bring the country
really high or take it deep. Plus, the decision that United Kingdom is taking
demonstrate that they are a sovereign nation and this may be good in some ways
but bad in another.
