Brexit started in February 2016, when prime minister David Cameron announced, that a referendum would be held to decide whether the UK should stay or leave The European Union. Four months later the results of the referendum were calculated. 51.89% voted for leave and 49.11% voted for remain.
June 24 (the day after the referendum) Prime minister David Cameron announced that he would step down to make way for a new prime minister. Cameron resigned July 13 and after that, Theresa May became the designated prime minister.
March 29, 2017, Theresa May trigger article 50. Invoking article 50 gives the UK and EU two years exactly to discuss the terms of the exit.
Northern Ireland
One problem that kept resurfacing was the border for Northern Ireland. The British prime minister at the time, Theresa May, promised that there would be no hard borders separating Northern Ireland from the EU. However, that would theoretically mean, that there would be no border between NI and EU, or that they would have to place a border between NI and the UK, separating them.
Pros and cons
Even though there are a lot of different opinions, there are still some pros and cons of Brexit. For an example Brexit could open the possibility of new jobs. When the UK leave, there will be an expected drop in immigration rates, since the UK no longer follows the EU mandates, there would be more job positions available in the years ahead.
