What is Brexit? The people of Britain voted for a British exit, or Brexit, from the EU in a historic referendum on Thursday, June 23d, 2016.

Hot changes Britain got a new prime minister – Theresa May.The  former home secretary took over from David Cameron, who  announced he was resigning on the day he lost the  referendum. She became PM without facing a full  Conservative leadership contest.

Hot changes The outcome prompted jubilant celebrations among Eurosceptics around the Continent and sent shockwaves through the global economy. After the declaration of the result, the pound fell to its lowest level since 1985 and David Cameron resigned as Prime Minister.

Where does Theresa May stand on Brexit?       Theresa May was against  Brexit during the referendum  campaign but is now in favour  of it because she says it is  what the British people want.  Her key message has been  that "Brexit means Brexit" and  she triggered the two year  process of leaving the EU on  29 March, 2017. She set out  her negotiating goals in a letter  to the EU council president  Donald Tusk. She outlined her  plans for a transition period  after Brexit in a big speech in  Florence, Italy.

Her politics The Prime Minister said that she wants a 'bold' EU free trade deal, while the UK will come out of the customs union in its current form. She added: "We will seek a new and equal partnership between and independent, self- governing Global Britain and our friends and allies in the EU."

Brexit and the Queen Everybody knows that the Queen has no power to take part in the referendum. She can‘t change the result of the historic vote, even vetoing the move to leave the EU? A Buckingham Palace spokes man said, “ the Queen remains politically neutral, as she was for 63 years. The referendum will be a matter of the British people.”

Traditions One of the reasons against the EU is that Britain can simply fuse in the multicultural Europe. Britain has been a great country with lots of traditions, customs and very long and amazing history. And nobody wants to lose it.

Place in the world Brexit campaigners believe that British voters have taken a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to restore Britain's sovereignty. Eurosceptics see EU institutions as inherently undemocratic and argue that laws that affect the UK should not be decided by bureaucrats in Brussels.

What will happen to the UK? It is very possible that the UK would be disunited as Northern Ireland and Scotland can remain in EU.

Brexit referendum results As you see, near 52% of the British people vote for Brexit and only 48% are against.

Economy The Brexit victory sent economic shockwaves through global markets and Britain lost its top credit rating. But the Bank of England cut interest rates and took other emergency steps to stop the UK from slipping into a recession There is ongoing uncertainty over what will happen once Britain leaves the EU because it has to make new trade agreements with the rest of the world.

Finance Brexit will make financial markets more sensitive to the vulnerabilities of the 19- nation eurozone. Sterling has already plunged to a 30-year low. Investors will ask whether, in the light of the Brexit shock, eurozone governments have the political will and public support to strengthen the architecture of European monetary union.

Science UK universities are widely recognized as being amongst the strongest in the world. In addition, research undertaken in UK universities, notably of course in the biomedical field, is widely recognized as being strong and of economic importance; In 2012, for example, biomedical research was calculated to contribute £7.6 billion to the economy. This success has been built on the back of effective funding models which have included significant research and infrastructure funding from the EU.

Education “Every year, universities generate over £73 billion for the UK economy - £3.7billion of which is generated by students from EU countries, while supporting nearly 380,000 jobs. Strong universities benefit the British people - creating employable graduates and cutting-edge research discoveries that improve lives.” – these are the words of the voters.

Language. New Words. Following GB some european countries are also thinking of leaving EU. Some new words appeared: Grexit(exit of Greece) Frexit (exit of France) Swexit(exit of Sweden) Hard Brexit Soft Brexit Brexiteer ( a person who is for Brexit)

What's happening now? The UK has voted to leave the  European Union. It is scheduled to  depart at 11pm UK time on Friday  29 March, 2019. The UK and EU  have provisionally agreed on the  three "divorce" issues of how much  the UK owes the EU, what  happens to the Northern Ireland  border and what happens to UK  citizens living elsewhere in the EU  and EU citizens living in the UK.  Talks are now moving on to future  relations ­ and a plan for a two  year "transition" period to smooth  the way to post­Brexit relations.

My opinion Brexit means a lot for the country and British people. It is an significant event in the history of Great Britain. And of course, it will have different repercussions. Being an economical action, it can end up that many people will lose their jobs in the change of the economy. But for Britain, who always was free and even was The Empire, it is a chance to leave the EU and become absolutely independent again.

My opinion The positive sides of Brexit are, of course, in traditions. It is very necessary for the UK to save its individuality as a country, its power on the world stage and its real British spirit.
