| Boilerpipe Text | The world is watching and financial markets are on edge as Brits head to the polls to vote on Brexit.
Brex-what? Brexit, it’s a blended word – kind of like Branjolina or Bennifer … only this divorce would have a much bigger impact.
The Brexit is about Britain exiting the European Union.
Britain has more than 45 million eligible voters and turnout is expected to be huge. In just the last month, more than one and a half million people registered to vote in this historic referendum.
Currently, Britain is one of 28 countries in the European Union – an area of free trade and open borders. The vote to Brexit or remain boils down to three main issues:Laws, Trade and Immigration.
Great Britain votes whether or not to stay in the European Union or ‘Brexit’ Thursday, June 23.
Those in favor of a Brexit say a lot has changed since Britain first entered the EU’s predecessor organization in 1973. They claim the EU is now dysfunctional: too big, too open and too bureaucratic.
The leader of the U.K. Independence Party pushing for a Brexit is Nigel Farage. He says the needs of Britain’s working class have been overshadowed by elites. “It is the establishment, it is the wealthy, it is the multinationals, it is the big banks, it is those whose lives have really done rather well in the last few years who support remaining and against it, it’s the people” argues Farage.
Farage is joined by former London Mayor Boris Johnson, who argued that “what the public wants, if I may say so, is for us to concentrate relentlessly on the things that matter to them. Taking back control of huge sums of money, 10 billon pounds a year. Taking back control of our borders, our immigration policy, and fundamentally taking back control of our democracy.”
Those who want Britain to remain in the EU cite concerns about growth – some economists warn of a drop in British GDP of 2% if Britain leaves the EU.They also fear a weakened currency and a tarnish to London’s standing as a world financial center.
Leading the argument to stay is Prime Minister David Cameron. “I hope that we wake up on June the 24th knowing that businesses are going to invest more in our country, create more jobs in our country, see more growth in our country, cause that will help thefamilies of our country,” Cameron said in an address to Parliament last week.
Cameron is supported by many young people in Britain, as well as US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and China’s President Xi Jinping.

# What is a 'Brexit'?
Yahoo Finance
June 21, 2016
The world is watching and financial markets are on edge as Brits head to the polls to vote on Brexit.
Brex-what? Brexit, it’s a blended word – kind of like Branjolina or Bennifer … only this divorce would have a much bigger impact.
The Brexit is about Britain exiting the European Union.
Britain has more than 45 million eligible voters and turnout is expected to be huge. In just the last month, more than one and a half million people registered to vote in this historic referendum.
Currently, Britain is one of 28 countries in the European Union – an area of free trade and open borders. The vote to Brexit or remain boils down to three main issues:Laws, Trade and Immigration.

Great Britain votes whether or not to stay in the European Union or ‘Brexit’ Thursday, June 23.
Those in favor of a Brexit say a lot has changed since Britain first entered the EU’s predecessor organization in 1973. They claim the EU is now dysfunctional: too big, too open and too bureaucratic.
The leader of the U.K. Independence Party pushing for a Brexit is Nigel Farage. He says the needs of Britain’s working class have been overshadowed by elites. “It is the establishment, it is the wealthy, it is the multinationals, it is the big banks, it is those whose lives have really done rather well in the last few years who support remaining and against it, it’s the people” argues Farage.
Farage is joined by former London Mayor Boris Johnson, who argued that “what the public wants, if I may say so, is for us to concentrate relentlessly on the things that matter to them. Taking back control of huge sums of money, 10 billon pounds a year. Taking back control of our borders, our immigration policy, and fundamentally taking back control of our democracy.”
Those who want Britain to remain in the EU cite concerns about growth – some economists warn of a drop in British GDP of 2% if Britain leaves the EU.They also fear a weakened currency and a tarnish to London’s standing as a world financial center.
Leading the argument to stay is Prime Minister David Cameron. “I hope that we wake up on June the 24th knowing that businesses are going to invest more in our country, create more jobs in our country, see more growth in our country, cause that will help thefamilies of our country,” Cameron said in an address to Parliament last week.
Cameron is supported by many young people in Britain, as well as US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and China’s President Xi Jinping.

| Readable Markdown | The world is watching and financial markets are on edge as Brits head to the polls to vote on Brexit.
Brex-what? Brexit, it’s a blended word – kind of like Branjolina or Bennifer … only this divorce would have a much bigger impact.
The Brexit is about Britain exiting the European Union.
Britain has more than 45 million eligible voters and turnout is expected to be huge. In just the last month, more than one and a half million people registered to vote in this historic referendum.
Currently, Britain is one of 28 countries in the European Union – an area of free trade and open borders. The vote to Brexit or remain boils down to three main issues:Laws, Trade and Immigration.

Great Britain votes whether or not to stay in the European Union or ‘Brexit’ Thursday, June 23.
Those in favor of a Brexit say a lot has changed since Britain first entered the EU’s predecessor organization in 1973. They claim the EU is now dysfunctional: too big, too open and too bureaucratic.
The leader of the U.K. Independence Party pushing for a Brexit is Nigel Farage. He says the needs of Britain’s working class have been overshadowed by elites. “It is the establishment, it is the wealthy, it is the multinationals, it is the big banks, it is those whose lives have really done rather well in the last few years who support remaining and against it, it’s the people” argues Farage.
Farage is joined by former London Mayor Boris Johnson, who argued that “what the public wants, if I may say so, is for us to concentrate relentlessly on the things that matter to them. Taking back control of huge sums of money, 10 billon pounds a year. Taking back control of our borders, our immigration policy, and fundamentally taking back control of our democracy.”
Those who want Britain to remain in the EU cite concerns about growth – some economists warn of a drop in British GDP of 2% if Britain leaves the EU.They also fear a weakened currency and a tarnish to London’s standing as a world financial center.
Leading the argument to stay is Prime Minister David Cameron. “I hope that we wake up on June the 24th knowing that businesses are going to invest more in our country, create more jobs in our country, see more growth in our country, cause that will help thefamilies of our country,” Cameron said in an address to Parliament last week.
Cameron is supported by many young people in Britain, as well as US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and China’s President Xi Jinping. |
