Abstract

This dissertation examines the issue of the United Kingdom departure from the European Union. The UK had always a difficult relationship with the EU that led it to be considered a Eurosceptic country looking for withdrawal and break from the Union, thus an in/out Referendum was haled on Britain’s continued membership in the EU, where the majority had voted for the leave, and to stat the formal process of leaving the Union Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty divorce clause was recently triggered, by the British current Prime Minister Theresa May, giving room for talks and negotiation about which deal to be reach and the possible way to the Brexit. It had a great impact on British economy, and politics, especially with the Scottish call for another independence referendum, since it strongly voted for the remain, causing different predictions about the political plans, and raising tension about what kind of nations the UK will be.
