UK Contemporary Framework

David Cameron British Prime Minister in 2016, held a public vote, or referendum that was held on Thursday 23 June 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain. Leave won by 52% to 48%. The referendum turnout was very high at 72%, with more than 30 million people voting - 17.4 million people opting for Brexit. If Cameron didn't put forward the vote then the UK would not have gone through nearly 4 years after the UK was given the vote, in which we still haven't left and this is down to some other key individuals that are halting Brexit to a stop.




Mrs May had been struggling to get parliamentary support for the legislation needed to implement the deal she had agreed with the EU on how the UK would leave the bloc. Her deal was rejected three times by Parliament. Efforts to find a compromise with the opposition Labour Party also failed. Mrs May made another attempt to convince members of parliament (MPs) to support her EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill by offering a vote on whether to hold a second referendum, if the bill was passed. The offer was designed to attract support from Labour MPs but enraged many Brexit-supporting Conservatives. Members of her cabinet began openly opposing the bill, while party members called for her to resign. One of her senior ministers, Andrea Leadsom, quit the cabinet, adding to the pressure. On 24th May, Mrs May officially announced her resignation as Conservative leader, saying: "It will always remain a matter of deep regret for me that I have not been able to deliver Brexit. It is now clear to me that it is in the best interest of the UK for a new PM to lead that effort," she said.

One of Boris Johnson's main goals is to make sure that Brexit happens by the end of October and he reiterated this promise in his speech. He said the UK will be leaving the European Union (EU) on 31 October "no ifs or buts". However somehow parliament has managed to change the course with Boris not having any control over it. It meant that the UK could of left without a deal in place about what its relationship will be like with the EU in future. Mr Johnson said in his speech that this is an eventuality that the UK needs to prepare for "not because we want that outcome - of course not - but because it is only common sense to prepare." He was confident that this will not happen, though. "We will do a new deal, a better deal that will maximise the opportunities of Brexit while allowing us to develop a new and exciting partnership with the rest of Europe."  He said he believes he can find a solution to the Irish border backstop issue, which was one of the biggest problems faced by Theresa May in her conversations with EU leaders. "I have every confidence that in 99 days' time we will have cracked it," he said. "The British people have had enough of waiting."

He also made promises about public services, Mr Johnson went on to speak about public services which he wanted to improve. First of all, he promised more money for primary and secondary schools so that all children receive a "superb education". He promised to make it safer for people going about their day-to-day business by putting 20,000 more police officers on the streets. He also said he doesn't think people should have to wait for three weeks to see their GP, so he promised to take steps to tackle this. "We start work this week, with 20 new hospital upgrades and ensuring that money for the NHS really does get to the front line," he said. The new prime minister also said he would "fix the crisis in social care once and for all", with a particular focus on helping elderly people who might need extra support to care for themselves. He also wants to unite the UK he said "I will tell you something else about my job, it is to be prime minister of the whole United Kingdom." Mr Johnson promised there would be better internet connections and improved roads for more remote towns and villages, so that the whole of the UK can be better connected. "It is time we unleashed the productive power not just of London and the South East, but of every corner of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland," he said.
