About Topic

Brexit -- Britain's exit under which the United Kingdom left the European Union. UK took the decision in a referendum in 2016 and later by January 2020, the country departed and the U.K. no longer was represented in the bloc’s institutions. It unleashed political chaos in London, sparking years of bitter arguments that paralysed parliament and forced the resignations of two Prime Ministers.

Michelle O’Neill, who was elected the Nationalist First Minister of Northern Ireland, recently said that “we are in a decade of opportunity” indicating the possibility of a referendum on the reunification of the region with Ireland in the next 10 years.
