• Geopolitics in London

    The government of the United Kingdom is a monarchy. It is Her Majesty’s Government with Queen Elizabeth II. David Cameron, the Prime Minister is at the head of the government. He is  in charge of the policy and decision of the government. He led a Conservative government.

    During my semester in London, I notice that the United Kingdom is thinking to leave Europe.

    According to a survey in January, 43% of Britons want the Great Britain leaving the European Union. 40% British prefer to stay in Europe and the remaining 17% British are undecided. This event is due to the economic crisis in the Eurozone. The UK no longer wants Europe to encroach on its sovereignty without the British aren’t consulted beforehand.

    The Prime Minister, David Cameron wants the UK to stay a member of the Europe even if it doesn’t get its European partners some concessions in advance. A referendum will be happening in June. David Cameron wants more integration, benefits and sovereignty in the EU. Indeed, he asks a red card which allows his Parliament to reject a European law and he wants an emergency brake to stop the immigration.

    The wording of the referendum has changed. Rather than asking voters to answer yes or no whether the UK should remain a member of the EU, the new formulation will submit them choose a sentence as an answer: "Remain a Member of the European Union" or "Quit the European Union".

    After the visit of the British finance minister in Berlin, negotiations between UK and EU started. London offered its reforms to Europe. On the 19th February, the European Union and the United Kingdom made an agreement. Since this day, David Cameron makes his campaign to his country stay in Europe.

    Furthermore, as we can see on the newspaper "le parisien" (6th of February) the big question “if they leave the Europe, what will become of all English living in France?” still without answer. It is worrying situation for the British expatriates en Europe.
