By a close majority in the referendum, on 23 June 2016, the UK's citizens decided to sever their 47-year relationship with the European Union.
The UK's exit from the European Union began on March 29, 2017 when then Prime Minister Teresa May launched Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon.
After numerous failures to bring the UK out of the EU, the Prime Minister resigned on June 7, 2019, and after a party vote, the Conservatives and the Government brought Boris Johnson to power, and with him a new phase of negotiations was launched.
After the snap parliamentary elections of December 12, which the Conservative Party won convincingly, "new-old" Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised to end Brexit by January 31st.
"We'll get Brexit done by January 31 - no ifs, no buts, no maybes," Johnson said at the time.
And, we have to admit, he was right. After formally asking the Queen to form the Government, Brexit headed in the desired direction.
As early as December 20, members of parliament backed Johnson and European Union deal.
As the UK Prime Minister then told "a sad story that has been dragging on for three years will come to an end".
Any country with a score less, than "50" is only under special conditions to be considered "inhabitable".
The number of countries under that score is scary. And UK (score of 77) will be continued to be the target of large number of people.

Thanks for sharing. Now I know that I should be very thankful that I settled in Serbia rather than Yemen!

Sad day for EU OK as with Britain leaving, there is a 50 billion euro budget black hole that needs to be filled by other EU states. Maybe Germany will force other newer members to cough up the extra cash.

And a good end at that. Good bye EU and good riddance.

But at this moment - as poor as it is - nothing better was invented in Europe yet.
It is not about what is bad, it is about what is worse.
