 How will Brexit affect Britain's trade with Europe? Britain will have to reach a new trade agreement with the European Union. The task will be complex and will have to be carried out under the pressure of the two-year deadline. These discussions will need to consider the framework for exporting and importing goods (cars and food) and the basis for continued services trade (such as legal advice on big company takeovers) to and from the EU. One of the most prominent matters about a possible new deal would be tariffs imposed on UK goods and services. This is a very distinct possibility, as the no-fee policy under effect now, only exists between EU members. Brussels could easily impose a 5% tariff on all UK exports (more than eight of 10 UK-made cars are sold abroad), to which Britain could respond with tariffs on imported goods. In any case, it seems like EU has the upper hand since they are willing and able to apply more pressure than the British politicians. It is important t...

The future of traveling and the significant industry that UK has built around it, has become one of the main areas of uncertainty ever since 23rd of June. It is only natural that Brexit will affect all aspects of traveling for both UK travelers and vice versa. We will highlight 4 concerning points to be decided through the negotiations.  • The future of borderless travel While British citizens will not need visas to travel inside the EU, what will change is the passport control, as they will queue to Non-European passports holders and probably spend more time at the airport. In the long-term, a radical disintegration with the EU-as it can happen- would end all Schengen arrangements of free border crossing and re-introduce border control. • Higher airfares? Airfares have been at an all-time low in the last years following EU’s removal of restrictions in agreements and advancing open competition between airlines. All of that will be re-examined, possibly leading to...

The Common Agricultural Policy makes up 40% of the European Union's budget, which is 58 Billion euros a year. This number has decreased through the years but still plays a major part in the agriculture sectors of the member states. The UK received 3.1b euros in direct payments . In total, 55 percent of Uk total income comes from farming comes from CAP support. With Brexit, uncertainty looms over British farmer's future. Not knowing what will come next, since the negotiations have not indicated towards or against the possiblity of the UK remaining in the CAP, which according to experts could lead to devastation of the british agricultural market. Since no UK government could subsidise agriculture on the scale in which the CAP does. Goverment officals have indicated that leaving CAP would certainly reduce farming incomes in the UK, meaning farmers will have less income than in the pre-Brexit era. Does brexit seem like such a good idea? Certainly many farmers will not...

In the last article, we established the correlation between Brexit and immigration rates. It becomes apparent that United Kingdom’s steady economic growth is based on a constant flow of cheap labor force composed largely of immigrants. Brexit is already proving to be a threat for people looking to migrate to the UK in search for a job, but how is it affecting generations of immigrants already living and working in the UK? This article will analyze the social consequences Brexit has had on them, mainly in terms of integration and acceptance. In case it hasn’t become clear yet, the Brexit campaign used a very strict agenda when it came to immigration, they repeatedly accused other ethnicities for many problems the country is facing. Most of the accuses are completely unjustified (or even worse, the accusers are the ones to be blamed). In fewer words the Leave campaign used the very popular policy of finding an easy escape goat, surprisingly similar to what happened at the other si...

One of the most prominent and recurring arguments, that was used throughout the campaign leading up to the referendum by the Leave supporters, was that by exiting the EU, the United Kingdom could reduce the number of immigrants being accepted into the country from the European Union. This argument helped persuade a significant and rising number of people in the UK that claim to feel threatened following EU's decision that every member state will be forced to accept any asylum seekers migrating from countries plagued by war. The Leave campaign used rulings like the one mentioned and other characteristics of EU's harsh foreign policy regarding the refugee crisis as easy to use, generic arguments to prove that staying part of the EU would mean rising immigration rates, which in turn would have negative effects to the community (higher crime rates, difficult to intergrade with this society, etc.).
