Yesterday, 72% of the United Kingdom (UK) eligible voters cast ballots
in the EU
Referendum, which was held to determine the UK's future in
the European Union (EU).
By the end of the day, the majority had voted to leave it's membership in the EU -- popularly know by the term "Brexit" -- for Britain's Exit.
Today, the impact of the first plebiscite on Britain’s place in Europe in 41 years sent shockwaves worldwide -- potentially impacting future trade, financial, political, social, military, etc. relationships.
For example, the UK Pound Sterling fell to its lowest level in 30 years.
Accordingly, we
offer for your approval tonight, 3
questions about Britain,
the EU, and "Brexit".
Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.
OK, let's get ready to wonder....

The EU was not always as big as it is today.
When European countries started to cooperate economically in 1951, only Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands participated.
Over time, more and more countries decided to join.
The union reached its current size of 28 member countries with the accession of Croatia on 1 July 2013.

Question
#2: Although
it took the UK over 12 years to get in the EU, how fast can
the UK
legally negotiate its withdrawal from the EU -- based on current EU
Treaties?
A. In 1 year, or
B. In 2 years, or
C. By January 1, 2020.

For all the drama the moment would bring, there would be no instant change.
European Union citizens could still come to Britain to live and work without a visa. Trade with the single market would continue unimpeded.
Instead, the process of decoupling would officially begin only when the British government chooses to invoke a previously unused provision of the bloc’s governing treaty, known as Article 50, that sets out the basics of the withdrawal process.
The most critical element of Article 50 is that, once invoked, it sets a two-year deadline for a negotiated departure.
Beyond that, no one really knows how the process would work, since no country has ever left the European Union.
Moreover, it is up to the British government when to invoke Article 50 ... immediately if the country votes to leave.
In legal terms, the British government is not even bound by the result of Thursday’s referendum
... Once the two-year Article 50 term expires, Britain would be outside the single European market for services and become subject to possible tariffs on goods.(see Q3C below)
But while Britain might want to move slowly to leave Europe, countries like France and Germany would want to move swiftly, to reduce Britain’s leverage.
Yet there appears to be no mechanism to force Britain to invoke Article 50 and set the two-year clock running.

Question
#3: What is probably the most
serious future outcome for the United Kingdom from the
"Brexit" results?European Union citizens could still come to Britain to live and work without a visa. Trade with the single market would continue unimpeded.

A. The potential removal of the Royal Family as the legal Figurehead of the UK Government, or
B. The potential dismemberment of the UK itself, or
C. The potential of barring the UK from trading with other EU member states.
Perhaps the most serious danger is the potential dismemberment of the U.K. itself.
Scotland is very pro-EU, and the Scottish first minister has already promised that in the event of a Brexit win there will be a new referendum on independence to allow Scotland to join Europe as an independent nation.
