Britain is a country popularly rich for Royalty and
Heritage. The economic growth is no less as it stands in 6th
position in comparison to the whole economy. On 1st January 1973
Britain entered the European Union. EU is a collaboration of 28 European
countries and the main objective of EU is to create a global economy where
every country can freely trade. But on 23rd June 2016, a historical
change took place in the UK parliament where a referendum took place and by
51.9% where 17.41 million people voted to leave the EU. The event has been
popularly known as Brexit as it is a conjoint word of “Britain” and “Exit”. It
was on 31st January 2020 Britain left EU due to many factors which
has been discussed in this paper.
One decision of EU which was not welcomed by UK government
was that each country should keep a fix number of refugees and the refugees
should get proper facilities as of the citizens of UK. The problem can be
divided among two broad headings. If we see from the government’s view it was
observed that EU was exercising excessive control over Britain which was not
justified. Another side of the story was that the people from agricultural
sectors, lower group income people, and aged people feared that the immigrants
would come and take over their jobs leading to larger unemployment. For
instance, the unemployment rate witnessed a jump in 2021 that lasted for six
months after it had been trending lower until 2020. While the GDP index showed
an upward tendency until 2020 but fell during the COVID-19 period, total weekly
earnings showed a steady rise over time.
The article further draws attention on the fact
that what happened after the Brexit took place on 2020. The immediate effect
was the fall of GDP by 2%. One added advantage which Britain had was a strong
financial sector which supported Britain from falling into any immediate crises
in the market.
