For
some, Brexit seems to them like an independence day where England has "won
back their country", as Donald Trump says. However, for some, Brexit seems
like a
huge mistake, and this was demonstrated by PM David Cameron announcing his decision to resign.
The decision to leave has been decided by the residents of the United Kingdom on the winning leave vote at 52% and the remain vote short at 48%. Although a referendum is not binding on the UK government as Parliament is sovereign, the British government are doing what is democratically correct by respecting the wishes of their people.
The Brexit vote, had a range of different impacts but simultaneously had the biggest impact on the stock market as it caused the pound to fall. A Bloomberg poll of economists found that 29 of 34 saw a decline below $1.35 and only one saw the pound above $1.40 (at the time of writing, the pound is around $1.42).
London has the world's largest financial centre and is home to more than 250 foreign banks.

Financial services represent up to 10% of the country's
gross domestic product. it also accounts for 10% of the nation's GDP, 12% of
tax that goes to the Treasury, and the City is
the largest exporter of wholesale financial services in the world, employing more than one million workers. Leaving the EU would mean that the UK would have to renegotiate the terms of any post-membership access to the single market, with rival city financial centres both in the EU and outside — including New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo outside Europe and Frankfurt and Dublin inside — seeking to take advantage of any uncertainty.
In 2013-14, there were 125,300 FU students at UK universities and in that year €224m was paid in fee loans to EU students on courses in England — 3.7% of the total student loan bill. Around 250,000 people are expected to undertake activities abroad with the programme. If Britain decides to opt out of the EU, the government will need to figure out the need for EU nationals to pay into the UK's higher education system, and offer their talents to its universities.
About 15% of the UK academic workforce come from other EU countries. More than
200,000 UK students and 20,000 UK university staff have spent time abroad through the
Erasmus exchange programme. While the government would save money through not having to provide student loans or maintenance funding for EU students, the UK would probably lose access to EU research funding and also to student mobility schemes.
Ultimately, universities and students would probably lose out — universities are concerned about their research funding. But the government would save money on student finance. All universities in the UK have come out against Brexit.
This shows that even though the UK have opted out of the EU on a vote of 52%, this will have major consequences on our everyday lives and we will be able to feel these a few years’ time.
