This
summer, United Kingdom citizens will vote in a
referendum to determine if the UK will leave the European Union. After EU
members spent much of 2015 negotiating with
Greece to restructure its debt and avoid a “Grexit,” the 2016 UK vote
now poses the most
significant threat to the EU’s modern governance experiment.
Thus
far, Britain’s conservative Prime Minister, David Cameron has
encouraged Britons to remain in the EU, while London’s Mayor Boris Johnson,
another conservative, has pushed for Britain
to leave the European Union. Cameron has argued that Britain is able to
earn concessions by remaining in the
Union. At the same time, commentators fear that the EU could unravel if the UK leaves during
the migrant crisis.
