Accidental Brexit Predicament : Political, Legal concerns on the future UK-EU Relations.
Brexit is the June 23, 2016, referendum where the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. Leaving the EU without withdrawal agreement would have rendered global markets into a tailspin, rising of strident nationalism, economic angst, anti-immigrant, uncertain future for liberalism, globalization.
I am reluctant that departure from the E.U. will be creating more uncertainty and chaos further infuriating the Europeans. I do not support United kingdom leaving Europe, Instead of leaving Europe, Britain should take a conciliatory approach to strengthen cooperation with Europeans as this is a much too important country for the emergence of Europe as a constructive player in international relations. The UK’s relationship to the United States, the Commonwealth and then Europe. Europe became more important to the UK as it became more successful economically and to a lesser extent politically.
UK and Europe should strengthen close cooperation in a broad range of areas
Association Agreements (AA) create a framework for close economic and political cooperation between the EU and third countries. They can be very broad and varied in purpose, scope and content, with trade as one element. AAs include co-operation in areas of mutual interest, such as security and defence, the environment, science and research. And it would enable co-operation to continue in areas including science and international development, improving people’s lives within and beyond Europe’s borders. A new relationship.
Guided by these principles, the Government is determined to build a new relationship
that works for both the UK and the EU. One which sees the UK leave the Single Market
and the Customs Union to seize new opportunities and forge a new role in the world, while protecting jobs, supporting growth and maintaining security cooperation. The Government believes this new relationship needs to be broader in scope than any other that exists between the EU and a third country. It should reflect the UK’s and the EU’s deep history, close ties, and unique starting point. And it must deliver real and lasting benefits for both sides, supporting shared prosperity and security – which is why the Government is proposing to structure the relationship around an economic partnership and a security partnership. The future relationship also needs to be informed by both the UK and the EU taking a
responsible approach to avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, in a way that respects the constitutional and economic integrity of the UK and the autonomy of the EU.
The UK would play no formal role in EU decision making and will make independent
decisions in foreign policy, defence and development. National security will
remain the sole responsibility of the UK and Member States respectively. These
proposals ensure that the UK and the EU can continue to work together where it
is mutually beneficial.
The UK, the EU and its Member States share values and interests. The UK deploys
significant assets, expertise, intelligence and capabilities to protect and promote
them. The UK will remain a committed partner, including as a leading NATO Ally and
a permanent member of the UN Security Council. The partnership should be based on common values of peace, democracy, human
rights and the rule of law, and the protection of shared interests. It will need to be
flexible and scalable, allowing the UK and the EU to respond effectively to emerging
threats and international crises as they arise.
65. Future UK-EU foreign policy, defence and development cooperation is likely to
require a combination of formal agreements enabling coordination on a case-by-case
basis. Given the particular intergovernmental nature of foreign and defence policy, it
is especially important that the partnership must respect the sovereignty of the UK
and the autonomy of the EU and its Member States.
Leaving the EU will not change the UK’s commitment to support the world’s poorest
and most vulnerable people. Nor will it mean that the UK and the EU should stop acting together to alleviate poverty, promote peace and security, tackle migration and provide humanitarian aid. There will continue to be areas where the UK and the EU can achieve more by acting in concert than they would do alone.
Consequently, British PM Boris Johnson suspended parliament amounts to constitutional outrage” and “profoundly undemocratic. MPs should not prevented from scrutinising our withdrawal from the EU.
This extreme political move is an attempt to prevent Parliament from stopping the United Kingdom from leaving the European Union without an agreement on October 31. Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament for five weeks ahead of Brexit was 'unlawful', Scotland's highest civil court has ruled.
The government needs to bring forward a strong and ambitious domestic legislative agenda for the renewal of our country after Brexit. the aim is to ensure that this withdrawal takes place in an orderly way.
Earlier, opposition MPs confirmed they would not support an October poll, insisting a law blocking a no-deal Brexit must be implemented first as but any deals would not be implemented until after the transition period of 21 months. MPs could either go along with the suspension, with the risk of a no-deal Brexit, or they could trigger an election with a vote of no confidence in the government.
Mr Johnson has taken the more aggressive stance of the two, maintaining that the UK will leave on the scheduled date of October 31, with or without a deal, “do or die”.
A confirmatory referendum on a Withdrawal agreement deal to leave Europe is a possibility if the UK parliament approves the agreement earlier. Otherwise No-deal Brexit is the default legal position if the EU and UK cannot come to agreement as the withdrawal agreement has been rejected many times by MPs. To ratify any Brexit deal, MPs would still have to pass the UK’s agreement with the EU into law, in less contentious form than the Withdrawal Agreement bill whose unpopularity finally sunk Mrs May’s premiership.
We don't know what the future relationship between the UK and the EU will be. UK politics is in turmoil and in a chronic crisis. What route the Brexit saga takes next is uncertain. But the crossroads is approaching – either the UK leaves next March (deal or no deal) or it finds a route to stay in the EU. The phenomenon of British exceptionalism towards the EU is set to take a new dramatic turn, while the UK’s chaotic political divisions will not disappear any time soon.
By this point, the UK must choose whether to ratify the exit treaty, opt for a no-deal Brexit, or cancel its departure. But the possibility of another delay cannot be excluded. If UK failed to leave Europe, there is an option Britain would reverse itself on Brexit regardless would have potential consequences on migration, trade, economy, liberalism and nationalism that has imperils the integrity of the UK.
