Answer preview
In June 23, 2016, UK citizens voted to support the suggestion of having United Kingdom (UK) withdraw from European Union (EU), with those seconding the withdrawal accumulating a 51.9 percent against 48.1% of those against (Hunt & Wheeler, 2017). Following the decision of the majority of the British people, Theresa May, the seating UK Prime Minister, saw through the invoking of Article 50 of the EU treaty, which officially started a two-year countdown in which the UK would have completely withdrawn from the treaty. Upon this decision, many concerns have risen regarding what economic impact will occur, during the exiting process and when Brexit is complete (Bowler, 2017 and Partington & Clarke, 2017).
