The turnout for the referendum was 72.2% of the electorate. The immediate economic aftermaths of the vote was predictable. It had been aired in press and by economists for months.

Pre-Brexit – A view from London

The referendum will be held on the 23rd June 2016 and the British public will be asked to vote on the following proposition:

“Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”

The Brexit referendum was born out political necessity for the Conservative Party. The Prime Minister, David Cameron had to unify his party over Europe before the general election of 2015 and to prevent the drift of Eurosceptic voters to the anti-EU and populist part, the United Kingdom independence Party. In 2013, David Cameron promised a referendum on membership of the EU and pledged to re-negotiate the terms of the UK’s membership of the EU.
