20 13 1, then Prime Minister David Cameron promised that if the Conservative Party won the general election, a referendum would be held on whether to leave the EU.
Finally, the referendum officer on June 23, 2006 announced the fate of "breaking up" between Britain and the European Union, which also led to Cameron's stepping down.
So, Teresa, Mei was ordered to be stationed at Downing Street 10 to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Brexit. However, how easy is it to break the relationship between Britain and the EU for more than 40 years?
After nearly two years of tortuous negotiations, Britain and the European Union reached a "divorce agreement". However, the expected "breakup" failed because the agreement was rejected by the British House of Commons three times in a row. Teresa. Mei had no choice but to make a tearful curtain call.

The new British Prime Minister Johnson, who officially took office on July 24, 2009, started playing the "combination card" of Britain's withdrawal from the EU as soon as he took office: from asking Queen Elizabeth II to approve the adjournment, to the tough stance of "preferring death to not postpone Britain's withdrawal from the EU" when the bill of Britain's withdrawal from the EU was rejected without agreement, and then made a comeback after several early elections.
In the end, the Conservative Party led by him won an absolute majority of seats in the parliament with an overwhelming advantage in the general election in February 20 19 12, and won the initiative to leave the European Union.

Divorce: Everything in the past is a preface.
However, "Britain's withdrawal from the EU" does not mean that the two sides have completed "separation", but that Britain has left the EU in form.
According to the current arrangement of Britain's Brexit Agreement, after the formal divorce, Britain and Europe will start the positioning of Britain-Europe relations in the post-British Brexit era, in which how to balance the economic and trade relations between the two sides will be the most important one, and may even trigger a new round of protracted games.
By the end of the transition period from June 5, 20438 to February 2020, Britain will still abide by most EU laws. As the British government has no intention of extending the transition period, the negotiation time is quite urgent.
If the two sides can't reach a free trade agreement, on behalf of Britain, they must start to trade with the EU in accordance with the provisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) from 202 1, which will lead to problems such as customs duties, customs clearance operations and port delays, and even the disorderly situation of Britain's withdrawal from the EU.
Although Britain's "Britain's exit from the EU" can't be achieved overnight, Britain and the EU will not necessarily become strangers in the future, given that Britain is inextricably linked with other EU countries in many fields. But "Tell the Judge" finally broke up, which is quite a pity. As the saying goes, a moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.
