Abstract: Being a EU member comes with a lot of economic benefits, but with the political cost of giving up some sovereignty. The majority of UK citizens considered the sacrifice too big and on June 2016 voted for UK's exit from the EU. As the EU is the main commercial partner of the UK, the Government will focus its energy to ensure the best possible outcome for the British people in the negotiations. The separation process is complex, will take years to finish and nobody may know for sure what will be UK's future outside European Union.
