Assessment of the UK’s Departure from the EU
The UK’s separation from the EU has yielded minor benefits, but more are anticipated in the future. However, the exact nature of these benefits remains unclear.
Impact of Political Instability
The frequent change in prime ministers, with three in office since January 31, 2020, has contributed to the country’s instability. This polarization, combined with the chaotic management of Brexit, has created a breeding ground for instability in all areas.
The Gibraltar Agreement
Reaching a definitive agreement between Brussels and the UK regarding Gibraltar has been challenging due to the governments of London and Madrid prioritizing national interests. An agreement is likely to be reached when these interests align.
Global Events and the UK’s Response
The COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine War have significantly impacted the UK’s policies. While the UK was unprepared to respond to the health crisis, the invasion of Ukraine led to a renewed focus on defense and security. This has strengthened the UK’s abilities and highlighted the importance of maintaining good relationships with European allies.
Potential for Rejoining the EU
Public opinion in the UK is shifting towards a more favorable view of the EU, and it is possible that the issue of rejoining the community club may be revisited in the future. The country’s division on the subject and exhaustion may eventually give way to a renewed discussion on the matter.
