  • Don't Believe Pundits' Claims About the Cost of Brexit.Pdf
    Don’t Believe Pundits’ Claims About the Cost of Brexit Experts agree leaving the European Union will damage the British economy, but past performance should make them wary of offering outlandish assertions about an unknowable future. Embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May put on a brave face last week at the U.K. Conservative Party’s annual conference in Birmingham. Facing pressure from all sides over what has become known as her Chequers proposal for an orderly Brexit, she reiterated her government’s commitment to leaving the European Union as scheduled on March 29 of next year. Ridiculing opponents’ calls for further compromise, she stated unequivocally that “Britain isn’t afraid to leave with no deal if we have to.” May’s feisty formal address was preempted by an off-program speech the day before by the former foreign secretary and perennial Conservative Party renegade Boris Johnson, who all but called for a no-deal hard Brexit as the only way to avoid bowing to a Brussels dictatorship. Johnson called the Chequers plan “a cheat” of the electorate and likened it to the 14th-century offense of praemunire. (According to the Oxford English Dictionary, that’s “the offence of asserting or maintaining papal jurisdiction in England.”) In another reference that left watchers turning to Wikipedia for enlightenment, Johnson warned that the Chequers plan would see the United Kingdom “paraded in manacles down the Rue de la Loi like Caractacus.” (For the record, he’s referring to “a 1st-century AD British chieftain of the Catuvellauni tribe, who led the British resistance to the Roman conquest.”) As Johnson and other hard Brexiteers portray the Chequers plan as an abrogation of British sovereignty, hard core Remainers who want the United Kingdom to stay in the European Union routinely warn that a no-deal Brexit will be an economic catastrophe for their country.

  • Current Impasse in Brexit Negotiations and Future Outlook
    Mitsui & Co. Global Strategic Studies Institute Monthly Report October 2018 CURRENT IMPASSE IN BREXIT NEGOTIATIONS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK Ryuji Hiraishi Strategic Information & Research Dept. Mitsui & Co. Europe PLC BREXIT NEGOTIATIONS DEADLOCKED AS TIME RUNS OUT The negotiations on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit) are approaching a climax. The Brexit negotiations began on June 19, 2017 after the UK made the decision to leave the EU in a referendum held on June 23, 2016 and then submitted notice of its intention to leave the EU to the European Council on March 29, 2017 (Figure 1). Under Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, a country that decides to leave the EU shall leave two years after submitting notice of its intention to leave even if it is unable to conclude a withdrawal agreement, unless there is unanimous agreement of all member states to extend the negotiation period. As such, the UK and EU are negotiating on the assumption that the UK will leave the EU on March 29, 2019, which will be two years after the UK submitted its notice. The Brexit negotiations are composed of the following three discussions: (1) the terms of withdrawal : including payment by the UK of its liabilities, securing the rights of citizens of both the UK and EU, and managing the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland; (2) the future relationship: this could include a comprehensive FTA after the UK’s withdrawal; and (3) the transition period: this is the relationship in the period after withdrawal until the future relationship can be finalized.

  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.

    Economic and Financial Analysis 26 September 2018 Brexit blog: Why ‘no deal’ may still be avoided Article Plus: What markets should look out for in this year's political party conferences, and is the UK economy heading into another rough patch? Source: Shutterstock Theresa May, UK Prime Minister Content - Has the Salzburg meeting really raised the odds of no deal? - All eyes on Conservative Brexiteers as Labour reiterates it'll reject final deal - Other things to watch this week With six months to go until the UK leaves the EU, our weekly Brexit update/blog is back. Each week we'll try to give a brief digest of the twists and turns of the negotiations as the clock counts down, as well as provide our latest thoughts on the UK economy and markets. Has the Salzburg meeting really raised the odds of no deal? We kick-off following what has been, even by Brexit standards, a tumultuous period. The big hope for the meeting in Salzburg last week was that at long last, EU leaders would signal talks were moving closer to a positive conclusion. But in the event, the week ended in bitter disagreement and stark warnings from both UK and EU leaders. So what went wrong? Cast your mind back to July when the UK government reached a tentative (and ultimately short-lived) truce on what the future trading relationship should entail. The so-called Chequers plan, which was effectively centred on single market access for goods, was met with a cold reception in Europe. But despite a range of concerns - chiefly on the issue of cherrypicking - EU negotiators had appeared wary to completely destroy May's plan publically.
