Brexit. A play on words used when speaking of Britain leaving the European Union.
Brexit: “There can be no turning back.”
By invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty (the article that states how a country might exit the EU), Great Britain begins the two-year annulment process, which has been likened to, “divorce proceedings.” Over the course of the 44 year old pact between Great Britain and the current 27 other national sovereignties, Europe as a continent has passed free immigration and travel laws, brokered various treaties and trade deals between in-house nations and outside countries, and provided a form of what many refer to as, “financial stability.” Unfortunately for the EU, Great Britain no longer sees the aforementioned dealings as reason enough to stay complacent.
