The long wait has finally come to an end. Britain has made its decision and it has voted to move out of the European Union after more than 22 years of membership. The results were subject to speculations till the last hour and in the end the Brexit camp won by a thin margin. While 48.1% voted in favour of Bremain (stay in the EU), it was 51.9% who voted for Brexit.

And while the markets and the citizenship status of many Europeans settled in the UK get engulfed in uncertainties, one of the major repercussions is the resignation of David Cameron.

The Prime Minister of Britain announced his resignation minutes after the leave supporters emerged victorious in the divisive referendum campaign. Just about a year after he won in the general election, a noticeably emotional Mr. Cameron, standing outside Number 10 on 24 June morning said “The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.”

David Cameron had vigorously campaigned in the divisive referendum on Britain’s relationship with the European Union. He had appeared at several public events throughout the country to attest that Brexit would be an act of “economic self-harm”. But the electorate used this poll to reject the status quo.

As he announced his intention to step down, Mr. Cameron highlighted the major achievements of his tenure as the Prime Minister. These included rebuilding the British economy after the financial crisis; and legalising gay marriages.

How things turn out to be from here remains to be seen. Will the citizens nationals from EU countries now need to apply for Tier 1 entrepreneurvisa when they come to UK for work? How will it affect their current work status?

The Points Raised in Favour of Brexit

This historic voting for Britain’s stay in the European Union is scheduled for 23^rd June 2016. The country can decide to vote out a bum in the next election year, if they mistakenly pick out the wrong person to lead the country. The “out” supporters argue that one simply cannot miss on the “once-in-a-history” kind of membership vote for a country which can have major economic impact. They claim that the nation might never get another opportunity to undo the 1973 move of UK to join the European nation.

Politically too, there is a divide in towards this voting. The “leave” campaign has London Mayor Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage from the anti – immigration U.K. Independence Party. The polls have generally seen “in” side to be ahead in polls but recently the increase in support for “out” was reflected in the latest polls.

• The first argument for the “out” camp is control immigration. With the given crisis of Europe migration, immigration is a sensitive subject to the U.K. voters. Thus, immigration control and strong borders are the trump cards for the “out” camp. The “outer” argue that the migrants are encroaching upon the jobs and education opportunities of the British citizens.
• Making Britain great is another argument of the “outers”. They claim that the British economy will benefit from the split as then UK can be more competitive and would be able to make its own trade deals and provide a boost and stimulus to the individuality of the nation. These concepts appeal greatly to the national pride of the British.
• Rejecting the Brussels bureaucrats is a prominent argument of this camp. An “outer”, General Lyons – says that with UK being a part of EU – EU has been centralizing, controlling and regulating and not allowing the country’s economy to be flexible and adaptable. They refer to the rules set in Brussels which stipulate many things that override even Britain’s own laws.
