A “smooth, constructive, orderly” Brexit

Theresa May, UK prime minister, is heading to Brussels for her first EU summit to continue the argument over the government’s Brexit strategy. She desires “smooth, constructive, orderly” Brexit. Once Article 50 to launch Brexit talks, two years of formal negotiations will begin. Properly, the summit is not focused on the UK’s withdrawal, but the subject is still likely to loom large. Mrs May says that “hard work and goodwill” is needed on both sides to secure a smooth UK departure from the EU. Besides, she will stress that Brexit should work for the UK as well as the EU and reiterate that the UK is not “turning its back on Europe” by leaving. Donald Tusk, European Council president, said that the EU would not compromise on its insistence that freedom of movement will be a condition for Britain’s access to the single market.

I am opposed to Brexit because the disintegration of the world order will start war. Before the World War Ⅱ began, Japan, Germany and Italy seceded from the League of Nations and the existing world stability broke down. There is no doubt that a statesman should place priority on the national interest, but the world order is very important for their own country, too. I think that the UK should fully discuss this issue and, if possible, the EU should obstruct the Brexit. Then the countries around the world should cooperate with the UK and EU to solve this problem.
