Hola Diana,I hope you are ok, I noticed on the world weather forecast yesterday, they said it was 16c there but it was due to get colder soon. It's been warm and humid today for a change, so I got in the garden. We have a saying, "to want your cake and eat it" as in, if you eat the cake you won't have it anymore, yours means more if you don't know which you want you'll lose both I think.? Nigel Farage isn't a Conservative, he is in the UKIP party, and was it's leader until a few days ago. David Cameron said at the last general election, if we vote for him, he will give us a referendum on the EU, because he was afraid of UKIP taking seats off the Tories, he was so confident of winning, he thought it was worth the risk. But he was wrong about the mood of the public and lost, and common …show more content…
Before the vote the government, the labour party, the liberal democrats, the green party, and the governor of the bank of England were all warning us the economy would collapse, industry would grind to a halt, no one would want to trade with a little isolated country, and world war 3 would be a real threat, but since we voted to leave, we have had offers of free trade deals with a lot of the big economies of the world , USA, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Korea, Brazil ect, and the FTSE has been at its highest for over a year. Now we are offering support to France after the latest muslim terrorist attack, even though we voted to leave them and the eu, we still offer help, because that's what we
The United Kingdom, in the next year the people will get a chance to choose their countries’ fate in whether the United Kingdom should leave the European Union. What makes this important is that it would be the first country to leave the European Union in a time when other European countries are either in negotiation or planning to join so it would be a big deal as the United Kingdom is Europe’s third largest economy. As the people are about to vote on their future, there are concern as what would be the economical, social, and political consequences while for some what would be the benefit if the United Kingdom leave. Today In the next paragraphs I would explore the United Kingdom in the European Union and the Political economical and social
For many people in Britain, the EU remains an unwelcoming aspect of their lives, this reflects on a dislike to ‘all things European.’ Mannin states “The European Union (EU) is a unique partnership in which countries work closely together for the benefit of all their citizens” (2010, p.343) People may believe that the UK is different to other countries and by joining the EU, Britain will lose its identity and by working closely with other countries, also its independence. The tabloid press have always seemingly had a highly negative view on the EU, The Sun reported that Labour had betrayed Britain; the article identifies weaknesses in the EU and claims Gordon Brown surrendered our country to Europe by shifting British power over. (2009)
The term “Brexit” is the fusion of two words “British” and “exit”. In the recent June 2016 referendum held in UK, 51.9% people of the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU), resulting UK to withdraw from the EU and making it a complex separation phenomenon which has caused severe economic and political changes for the UK and other countries.
Good Morning how was your nite been ? You have definitely caught my interest as I am very impressed by what you wrote, I was in relationship a very long time ago.thankfully, I am very active and love sports. I try and walk regularly and have played most sports. I love hockey and watch it during the season. You can call me fanatical!!
...ss laws which have not been voted on in our national parliament but will yet still supersede our laws that do go through democratic processes. It could also be argued that the UK has separated somewhat from the EU by choosing not to take on the single currency. It must seem especially to other countries that we have only foot in and one out or that the UK is simply picking and choosing. At this point, it’s too late to commit fully so surely isn’t the right thing to do is just leave altogether. After all the UK is very capable of standing on its own. It is ridiculous to argue that the UK stand alone. Firstly because of other European countries are doing it, secondly because the UK is in the position to succeed on its own, and thirdly because the UK becoming a non-member would actually give us the freedom to make independent choices and moves on an international scale.
The Brexit campaign was based on fear of Middle Eastern migrants entering the country due to the EU’s free movement of Europeans and promises to spread refugees amongst European countries. Activists declared “We want our country back’. This sentiment was echoed by various British citizens. One citizen, Clive a taxi driver from seaside Margate saw his country as changing too much. Clive described that foreigners were filling his towns schools and declared that the neighboring town Cliftonville was so filled with migrant gypsies it was like being in Romania. These concerns over changing ethnic identity catapulted the leave campaign to victory. This caused opponent of Brexit Prime Minister David Cameron to resign and be replaced by Theresa May (League of Nationalists 2016, 4-5). May now has the task of leading the United Kingdom after Brexit. May must now decide if she will continue economically beneficial trade agreements at the expense at allowing immigration (Mind Your Step 2016, 1). The situations in the United Kingdom and Hungary have parallels to German nationalism of the 19th
A Disunited Kingdom? In the referendum held in the United Kingdom on 23rd of June in 2016 on whether the UK should remain or leave the European Union, 51.9% of the British people voted to leave, thus triggering "Article 50" thereby starting the process of leaving the European Union. The decision to leave the EU is seen by many to be a foolish decision, why did the UK decide to break off from an alliance that has an imperative role in the rebuilding efforts of Europe after the war? Moreover, what will the consequences be?
For the electoral strategy, Cameron also built a modern image for both himself and his old party and brought the new message. It is understood that ‘traditional issues like tax and Europe barely featured, new issues such as the environment and issues “owned” by Labour like health figured prominently, and a more progressive tone was adopted on crime and welfare.’ Because the party put attention to the recovery of state economy during the hard time of 2008 world financial crisis, concerned about the UK social problems and promised to give citizens a better living environment, their political opinions gained the voters’ trust and won the power on the May of 2010. The cases illustrates the competition leads parties think about problems from the voters’ perspective so that they could change their principles in an effective way. If the party was too stubborn to adapt over time, it must be abandon like the
(Zerk, n.d.) As these anti-elitist sentiments were evoked in order to rebut Project Fear with success, the Leave vote could be considered a populist movement. Furthermore, the Remain campaigners were not well presented by the mainstream media, as former Prime Minister David Cameron’s popularity fell, especially among Eurosceptic Conservative members, as he showed a somewhat hypocritical attitude towards negotiations with the EU. In terms of the Labour party, although there was a split between Leave and Remain, Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the party since 2015 did not hold a secure stance on which side he was on, as he showed some aspects of support, but also eurosceptic attitudes. (BBC, Eight reasons Leave won the UK's referendum on the EU, 2016).
The British people rely on the EU in terms of stabilising trade, investments, travel, litigation, national security and political values (Moravcsik, 2016). Whether Brexit then should be seen as the first real example of disintegration in the EU is still hard to say as the negotiation-process on the terms of leaving and the future relationship between the European Union and the UK is still not clear. But still, why leave if the government did not want to? One could argue the decision to leave was not really a government decision. The preference of the UK government was to stay in the European Union, whereas Brexit registered a societal preference to leave.
On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (UK) shocked the world when the majority unexpectedly voted to end a 43-year run in the European Union (EU). Dumbstruck, with jaws most likely agape, UK leaders, companies, and investors “have been clamoring for greater clarity about how Brexit will take effect” (Petfroll). The Brexit campaign, riddled with slogans like “Britain First” and “Believe in Britain,” made the vote appear to be more about British nationalism and obscure bureaucracy than a simple should “Should I stay or should I go?” referendum, with an ultimate and untimely victory for British nationalism. This isolationist trend soon manifested itself once again when, a little over a year later, the Americans, refusing to be outdone by the former
Waves of idle chatter emanated from the grand dining hall as the lords and ladies of Knavewich anxiously awaited the grand arrival of their ruler, King Abimelech. His Majesty was to be the officiator of the annual graduation banquet, a feast held in honour of the young squires who had proven themselves worthy of joining the Knavewich Coalition of Knights – the village’s elite defensive league. However, to the uneasy curiosity of the attendants, the king was mysteriously absent from his throne at the far end of the ebony table. The chamber was decorated exquisitely for the occasion.

How are you? I love reading your stories! Sounds like a splendid day! Last minute plans are often the best... You enjoy biking as well? That is great! Do you bring your own bike or do you rent one? I am happy that you had a wonderful time in your “hometown”. Thank you for the info regarding the Cheltenham (pronounced Cheltnam :-)) Day. If we are in town, we may pay a visit. I really enjoy small town festivities.
I have faith that this conservative government will also encourage a strengthening of the economy to stimulate recovery and give more money to the people. Cameron would like to end Britain’s nuclear weapon program, but by doing that, he may jeopardize the British relationship with NATO. He would also like to end the country’s involvement in the European Union. Many British citizens agree with this plan to leave the EU and some have even prepared to rebel if Cameron fails to remove Britain.
