REASONS FOR BRITAINS EXIT FROM EU…

Immigration:
The main reason for Britain’s exit form EU is the problem of
immigration. Any EU citizen can work in any member nation of EU.
Approximately, 1 million people migrated to Britain in large number.

Loss of employment and employment opportunities:


As due to immigration of low skilled people who will work for less
salary, Britain’s citizens lost their employment and also resulted in
reduction of salaries for British people

Sovereignty:
Britain ruled many countries overall the Globe by making those
countries as British colonies in 19 & 20 centuries. Even though there
are no colonies and colonialism of Britain at present it thought that
the prestige of being sovereign power will be lost if it is under the
leadership of all EU member nations.

Syria and Iran economic crisis:


One of the reasons for BREXIT is that the Britain does not handle
well the economic crisis of Syria and Iran.
Increased terrorism and Low economic growth:

Increase of terrorist activities and attacks over all the EU member


nations has resulted in slow down of industrial growth. Being a
member nation in the EU, Britain cannot take its own decisions
regarding any important problems, it cannot change some laws etc.
without the majority in the EU Parliament. So this limited its scope of
functioning towards what is needed in Britain, by the British
Parliament, it resulted in a slowdown in Britain’s economy.
