  • Brexit Referendum in Gibraltar. Result and Effect Northern Ireland7 with the Average Turnout of 70,9%
    Białostockie Studia Prawnicze 2019 vol. 24 nr 1 DOI: 10.15290/bsp.2019.24.01.07 Bartłomiej H. Toszek University of Szczecin [email protected] ORCID ID: http://orcid.org/ 0000-0003-2989-7168 Brexit Referendum in Gibraltar. Result and Eff ect Abstract: Almost complete unanimity of the small Gibraltar community during 2016 referendum on Brexit remained nearly unnoticed because of including this British Overseas Territory into “combined electoral region” with South West England where most of people were in favour of the United Kingdom withdrawing from the European Union. No political diff erences with the UK (i.e. England and Wales) but concern about future possibilities of economic development outside the Single Market stimulated an intense discussion among the Gibraltarians. Th e vision of being non-subject of the EU’s four freedoms (i.e. damage or lost present prosperity basis) would force Gibraltar to re-orientate its economic relations especially by creating and developing new trade links which could gradually replace the existing ones. Despite that Gibraltarians have consequently rejected Spanish proposals of remaining inside the Single Market for the price of sharing sovereignty between the UK and Spain. It is therefore beyond doubt that the people of Gibraltar can be characterised as more British than European. Keywords: Brexit, European Union, Gibraltar, United Kingdom Th e specifi city of Gibraltar’s referendum on Brexit expressed itself not only because it was the fi rst time for any British Overseas Territory (BOT) to participate in the United Kingdom-wide referendum but also because the Gibraltarians were straight included in the decision-making process related to one of the most important question in the UK’s modern history.

It is in fact my second budget address since our re-election to Government in November 2015 with a huge vote of confidence from our people, and I now have the honour to present the Government’s revenue and expenditure estimates for the financial year ending 31 st March 2018. 5. During the course of this address, I will also report to the House on the Government’s revenue and expenditure out-turn for the financial year ended 31 st March 2017, which was the fifth full year of a Socialist Liberal Administration since we took office on a warm autumn day in December 2011. 6. Mr Speaker, as has been traditional now for almost thirty years since the first GSLP Chief Minister delivered the first GSLP Budget in 1988, my address will of course be NOT JUST my report to the House on the Public Finances of our nation and the state of the economy generally, but also a Parliamentary ‘State of the Nation’ review of the economic and political future facing Gibraltar. 7. There could be no better way, Mr Speaker for the GSLP to celebrate its fortieth anniversary than with the honour of a second GSLP Chief Minister delivering a Socialist Budget for Gibraltar.
