Brexit explained (explainity® explainer video)

In June 2016 the British people took a referendum, on staying or leaving the EU. A slim majority (51,9% to 49,1%) voted for the exit. More than three years later the EU and the United Kingdom were not able to agree on a deal for the exit. You want to know why that is and the actors are? Then check out this video clip.

Here the shorter explanation: UK: We want a unicorn EU: There are no unicorns. You can have a pony. UK: We took a vote. We do not want the pony EU: The pony or nothing at all. UK: We took a vote. We don't want nothing at all either EU: You still don't get it, do you? UK: We need more time to think EU: About the pony or nothing at all? UK: We want a unicorn.

The EU gives strength to small countries. Alone we mean nothing. Together we are ...well...the european union. Gives us rigths, improves our economies, projects our voices and principles worldwide. If UK wants to leave, the go. Europe should learn and improve. Its obvious that it Will be hard, its time to tide the belts and make this union amazing again. From Lisbon to Helsinki and everything between.

One important thing to explain is the reason for Cameron's announcement. A small section of the Conservatives electorate was shifting their votes to the fringe anti-EU party UKIP, putting the conservatives at risk of losing the next election to Labour by a small margin. Up to that point, EU membership was only a concern for around 12% of the electorate. To save his own behind, Cameron promised a referendum if he was re-elected, confident that the remain vote with easily win. Unfortunately, such a decision meant that the arguments for leaving the EU were suddenly amplified in the national consciousness. A handful of second line politicians then grabbed on to the opportunity to raise their political profile (several with their eyes on the PMs job) by joining the Leave campaign and making a myriad of misleading populist promises that ended up gathering a large section of the electorate. This is important because very few (mostly UKIP) actually believed in the benefits of leaving the EU, but both sides suffered from their overly confidence in a Remain victory. Just watch the leave campaign press conference after the result is announced. That is not a group of politicians celebrating a victory but a group of individuals aware that they have miscalculated and inflicted great harm onto their country. From then on Brexit was a runaway train with no breaks and the only unknow was when the crash would occur. Cameron's #*£& up must not be forgotten.

[@jackjoyce1744]

A basic summary: 1. Stop paying high membership fees because we were the second highest net contributor paying around £8bn per year or membership and a further £12bn into the eu budget. Leavers argued that we financially received less than what we paid in. 2. Immigration and borders, the leavers wanted to limit or end the freedom of movement of people into the UK because in 2014 EU immigration overtook non EU immigration and British people were annoyed by the mass immigration from eastern and Central Europe because there was a housing crisis and we were having more immigrants coming over at a rate we couldn’t sustain. They also were annoyed that eu immigrants had access to British welfare and were just claiming benefits. There was issues on eu citizens with criminal records because some countries like Bulgaria were clearing criminal records of their criminals to get them out of their country to another like Germany or the UK. The other immigration point was over refugees and asylum seekers. The EU passed a law meaning that us as eu members had to take refugees if they were in our national waters. It was the attitude of the EU by forcing members to take refugees that developed the rift of the EU. Angela Merkel also didn’t help because she announced that any refugee is welcome in Germany which gave more refugees the idea to come into Europe and when Germany couldn’t handle the mass wave of refugees, they forced more members to deal with the situation. The migrants at Calais climbing into trucks that were illegally entering the uk couldn’t be deported under the new eu Law. This further annoyed the UK. 3. Economy, the leavers argued that being in the EU limited our trade because of the customs Union meaning that we couldn’t create our own trade deals and they had to be done at a European level which took ages for agreements to be signed. The leavers argued that by leaving the European Union we could create our own trade deals and also our non European Union exports were rising faster and we had to pay a fee to the European Union for every export we imported and exported overseas. Under the European Union we couldn’t lower taxes to attract businesses because it would put us at an unfair advantage so we couldn’t become a tax haven. London’s stock exchange is one of the largest in the world and leavers believed that the European Union held it back with financial laws. 4. Future of The European Union, this was one of the most argued points. Leavers argued that the European Union was only going to get bigger and the upcoming members that were trying to join were not the most pleasant of countries like: Serbia, Albania and turkey. Turkey is a large country with very poor security and because they border both Iran and Syria, people in the UK worried that terrorists from the Middle East could slip into turkey and then further into Europe and commit their atrocities. The other point was the European Union was pushing for ever closer Union and a potential superstate with more powers being transferred to Brussels than the member states. That went down like a lead zeppelin in the UK. There were also fears that eventually the European Union was going to force us to join this superstate without a chance to leave and they would eventually force us to join the eurozone and integrate our stock exchange into the European Union’s in Frankfurt.

Sorry to say Britain has always been empirical. There are hyper wealthy Brits who still want it all and will play the world dirty to maintain it. That influence is felt all over the U.S and has rooted here as well. Just look who freaks out the most when Russia Ukraine mention peace.
