Understanding Brexit: The UK votes to leave the EU

A video in which I attempt to explain Brexit: the UK's referendum and its EU membership.
In this video, I look at: the history of the EU, the process of the UK joining the ECC, some possible reason people wanted to leave, the results of the referendum itself, as well as what the future of the UK may hold..

    Ethnic split? I mean, quite apart from the fact that ethnicity is an artificial construct, even those who do believe in it would argue that the separating factors between Flemings and Walloons are language and culture, not "ethnicity"... Having said that, I would like to see a video about how the Low Countries came to be; how the Seventeen Provinces that once were turned into three separate modern countries. It seems most people could definitely use a bit of education on that issue before they start calling Belgium a "non-country" again...

    This video has a couple of minor errors: at one point the words "Leave" and "Remain" are the wrong way round (though the colours are correct) and in one of my maps I seem to have somehow deleted Portugal.. Anyway, starting from my next video, I'd like to try and avoid errors like these so I'm going to experiment with releasing the video to a small audience first before going public. So if you'd be interested in being among the first to watch my next video (whenever that may be) and would like to help me spot errors, please follow me on Twitter @wonderwhy7439 for everything you'll need to know.

    Also, the graph about net contribution at 4:16 is slightly misleading since it does not take into account the rebate. This mechanism is often excluded from EU contribution figures because, unlike what many people think, this is actually not an EU mechanism per se. The rebate is a way to neutralise the the UK's contribution to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Technically, it is a contribution made by other EU member states to Brussels on behalf of the UK as part of the rebate program. So it's not actually a rebate, it's a system where a portion of the UK's membership fee is paid by other members. Those who benefit the most from the CAP, my home country of France and 2 other countries with large agricultural sectors, Italy or Spain, collectively pay the bulk of the rebate. On the other hand, Germany, doesn't not make a significant payment because its agricultural sector is fairly limited. The adjustment adds a little bit to a number of other EU states and reduces the UK's contribution by a few billions. Fun fact: Because France is the largest contributor to the UK rebate, Brexit actually means a lower net contribution for France. This is estimated at between 300 and 600 million euros assuming the burden of replacing the UK's contribution is spread across the other 27 member states on a per capita basis. Oh and it's good to see you back!

    Think of it this way: Would you want to receive benefits if it cost you your freedom? Or would you rather take a plunge into the unknown to maintain your self? It's a similar situation. We have far more influence over our OWN government than we do against the EU governments. When the UK government does something we don't like, we have the power to get it changes. When the EU does something we don't like, we're the voices of merely one of 28 members which are easily overruled - especially when the UK and mainland Europe have very different views on matters.

Tariffs and barriers to entry are killing UK business, and when the rest of the world wont trade with you as a result, you can only trade with people in your Bloc. There is no advantage to staying in the EU. Also it is dying, debt within EU is going up, the EU indirectly caused Portugal, Spain and Greece's debt. In the 70's these countries freed themselves from their dictators, and wanted to join the EEC. This desperation lead to huge stimulus packages, increasing debt and killing their countries. The EU borrows to keep itself together, and represents less than 15% of world markets, I would rather trade with everyone else than a bunch of stupid Democratically Socialist countries. The UK will get a good deal, they have to otherwise EU countries would be shooting themselves in the head. Even the smallest of tariffs on our goods could kill the EU.

    not to mention pro-leave campaigns are building in other EU states. polls in Belgium and Greece indicate theyre over 50%, Germany, france and more are hovering around there. if Britain leaves and makes a go of it (looking likely as there's already many countries expressing interest in trade deals, and countries previously saying they weren't interested back off that) I predict thatll be the end of the EU. a big argument in remain was 'we don't know!' well if other countries do know...

    Several reasons why Turkey shall not join the EU in the near future: - After the failed coup Erdogan is becoming increasingly authoritarian and the last thing the EU wants is an authoritarian president as their member. - Turkey is bordered by Syria (need I say more?) - They are currently at war with the PKK (the kurdish worker's party) - There are large cultural differences between Turkey and Europe. Europe is predominantly Christian while Turkey is Islamic. - Cyprus will definitely veto its membership due to issues with Northern Cyprus.

We left the EU in January 2020 right on the tail of a pandemic and got a really bad deal with the EU. Now with the energy crisis, incompetent government and other things, Brexit has actually made the UK weaker and politically unstable. The energy crisis which has been caused by various factors, we have to pay an additional tariff on energy that we import from the EU making things more expensive and our own domestic supply is nothing. The awful conservatives that are in power just keep getting into scandals everyday making the future of the UK look bleak.

It's almost as interesting as American politics! Anyways, I'm 100% biased as I'm a Remain supporter, but I am somewhat holding out for a non-exit or at the very least a "We're totally leaving the EU guys we wear"-type of exit agreement. We'll see though. If anything though this referendum seems to indicate plain and simply the growing divide between London, Scotland and the rest of the country.

    2022 : quote "EU citizens can be sent back after three months if they have no means of support and no realistic chance of finding any," Well that isn't exactly the problem is it ? Those EU immigrants came to the UK to work hard for little money and for a limited time only, then they went back home. But now after Brexit they are staying home. With too few British workers wanting to replace them.

But that the UK would still be involved in THIS negotiation even though it wouldn't be involved in others?

There's plenty of "non brits" who has come to Britain and adopted Britain's way of life, culture and customs. I sincerely doubt any Brit has anything negative to say about those people.

    The referendum is not legally binding. If Article 50 is triggered, it will be because Parliament fears that the Brexiters will make their opinion felt through parliamentary elections. In other words, if Parliament ignores the voice of the people, the people will find a new Parliament. Which is precisely what should happen in a free democracy, regardless of where you stand on Brexit itself. That said, I don't think Article 50 will be triggered, unless the E.U. truly deteriorates beyond repair and Britain's bargaining position in trade becomes a great deal stronger. Until then, the Tories will stall like its no tomorrow, while keeping an ear to the ground to see if its safe to openly reject the referendum.

    Great video! On the citizens eligible to vote, Irish citizens could vote in brexit even though they are not common wealth citizens. It would be great to see a video on the relationship between the UK and Ireland in terms of the Common Travel Area, immigration and voting laws.

    Solo12313 No offence but I don't think you're getting my point. England will sway any referendum in their favour, leaving N. Ireland, Scotland & Wales without a choice.

    waha 28 Wales actually voted for leave though. Yes, England has the majority of the British population, but if more Scots voted remain or more Welsh the result would have been different. My point is if Wales were independent their vote would be leave.
