‘YES’ TO BREXIT: THE MIGRATION DILEMMA THAT DROVE THE UNITED KINGDOM TO LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION

Abstract

The United Kingdom's departure from the European Union (EU), known as Brexit, has had significant economic and political implications. This research paper aims to examine the impact of Brexit on the UK's relationship with the EU by analysing the economic, social, and political consequences of the country's departure. Through a comprehensive analysis of primary and secondary sources, the paper investigates the effects of Brexit on areas such as immigration, education, investment, finance, economics, and international relations. The research question guiding this study is: What are the short-term and long-term implications of Brexit on the United Kingdom's relationship with the European Union in terms of immigration, education, investment, financial, economic, and international relations? The paper's objectives include evaluating the economic and trade implications of Brexit, assessing the impact on the UK's foreign policy, investigating the implications for domestic politics including education and migration, and providing recommendations for navigating this new reality of the UK's departure. The analysis considers theoretical frameworks from economic, political, and sociological perspectives to gain a comprehensive understanding of the consequences of Brexit. The findings will provide valuable insights for policymakers, stakeholders, and business leaders in both the UK and the EU on how to navigate the challenges posed by Brexit and establish new trade relationships in the global landscape.
