It wasn't the referendum that really was the issue. It was the general election May called that really kicked off the problems.

Boris is trying to pick up the pieces that May scattered, but on a truncated timetable, no majority government, and with the opposition actively obstructing him. Somehow, though, it's all his fault.
Not at all, they're already in secret negotiations for a "trade deal" with the United States, which, just like the EU is basically also just a "trade deal", will actually be a transfer of power and a locking-in of their own ideology of how little us peasants should be paid, how much we should have to pay for things like health care, and how rich they should get from controlling us.

They directly compete with Conservatives for voters, so it'll be interesting to see what the final outcome will be. Labour could do unexpectedly well here, I think.
Loses what? Remember unless the EU agree to an extension Boris only needs to wait until Friday and we're out of the EU. Even if they do Boris didn't sign that letter so he could easily keep them busy to notice what he's actually doing.

The 1975 referendum was about the EEC not the EU, that alone is enough to prove you wrong but if you hadn't noticed it also happened a little less than half a century ago. There's a slight difference between 44 years and 3.
I think I’m lost here ... I thought Labour generally wanted a second referendum because they think the British people in total are opposed to Brexit. A general election seems like it’s essentially a referendum on Brexit. Why is it now the conservatives who want an election, and Labour will block it ?
Labour still wants to make sure the EU has given them a long enough extension. If there's a no deal exit on the 31st because of an EU refusal, having a campaign and a general election while parliament is supposed to be passing emergency laws as fast as possible would turn the UK into a complete mess. On the other hand, Macron said he would only grant an extension if a general election is planned, but maybe Orban would veto an extension? It's all very foggy and confusing, but I get Labour's point
@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd No, the USSR killed off the socialists (socialists wanted worker-owned means of production - everyone owning the place that they work, be it farm land or factory etc, communists want state-owned means of production) notably as part of industrialising, as there wasn't enough food for massive growth of factory labour, so the farms were collectivised... which is why, what started out with the aim of being "socialist republics" became communist, basically once Stalin got his claws into it. But really, I don't even consider "socialist" to even be a word anymore, as it's basically impossible to use it to convey any agreed upon meaning. Its use guarantees that more people will misunderstand you than will understand you.
A fear that the public will not vote for you to keep your seat doesn't sound like a valid reason to not have a general election. Isn't that the whole point of a GE, so people can assign seats to the candidates in their constituency that best represent them?
"... the reaction of the rest of Labour 'I can taste my beer. I can taste my beer!'" (The interjection of commercials in the middle of the video can be funny sometimes.)
Your statement is incorrect. The EU does not wait to get a general election, they wait so that the topic of general election is solved before they say something. It's their way if staying out of this as much as possible. I have a feeling they would prefer the UK does not have a general election. It's another 5 weeks wasted minimum when nothing is done to finish the agreement.
Luiz Battistel - The difference is that in Italy coalition government is a permanent condition. In the UK the condition is temporary, because the voting system tends to produce majorities. The substantial majority given to Johnson will give him a fair chance to get Brexit done.

The UK has become a comedy sketch for Poltical Scientists. I heard a university teacher using the UK as an example of bad internal and external workings. He said that even for Eastern European measures what's going on in the UK is comical.
It will if the conservatives sack every treasonous Tory who refused to honor the referendum. Once those are gone, there will be a clear divide between brexiteers and remainers
No Deal is still not off the table. The date is at Johnson's discretion (under the FTPA). Unless the extension is the same as requested, the UK will crash out without a Deal on the 31st, just like Johnson promised. An 1 Line Bill also has the disadvantage that the date would be locked and not necessarily at Johnson's choosing.
The other point is Johnson can dissolve parliament immediatly after they voted for it. General Elections have a minimum time of 25 work days, so how can there be any continued processing on the agreement after that?
Which is what I was implying. Granted, the announcement of the date is still the Monarch's role, but She does so at the recommendation of the PM. But the Queen is rather apolitical. She does not get involved in political matters beyond what is advised/required by her council and PM. Which is only right in a democracy that still has the Monarch at the top. Otherwise She could take a lot more influence, including against the people. Brexit is a very controversial topic. The UK should Remain (at least in the Single Market/Customs Union), but 17 million people still voted to "retake control." If the Monarch said "No." to that (for example by kicking out Johnson who lied and continues to lie about these things), then we would have a weird mess of the UK's sovereignty at work but an unelected official exercising it. With many claiming that the Queen is collaborating with Brussels.We don't need that mess.
@@tamarasunshine386 I don't know exactly how things go in the rest of the world, but in France for example as a foreigner I can only vote for municipal and european elections.
Not that any sane and reasonable person would vote for them, but the brexit party has been gearing up for a GE (and/or a 2nd referendum), with farrage spouting his propaganda via various channels since the European Parliament elections. There are enough Brits gullable enough to vote for the Brexit Party if a hard Brexit has not happened, for it to seriously impact the parliamentary arithmetic. Going into an election is as much of a risk for Tory MPs as it is for Labour. LibLabGreen pact would be prudent so as not to complete for the non-tory vote, but they won't do that as usual, so it means a risk of hung parliament again. If only the course of an election bill is taken to overcome the FTPA, with amendments as you suggested AND change to proportional representation rather that FPTP!! What a positive impact that would have on democracy.
The Conservative Party: "Our queen's speech is *so* important that we are going to shut down parliament for three weeks to prepare for it." Also the Conservative Party, immediately after holding the queen's speech: "Bugger this. Let's call an election."
I know it's completely out of your control, and has more to do with TH-cam's greed, but 4 ads on a 10 minute video! I hope this is reflected into the monthly share you guys get from them!
We tried a snap election in 2017, and that made things worse in the sense of political stalemate. Just pass the current Brexit deal but subject to a confirmatory referendum, that way the government can say they honestly sought to implement the 2016 ref in good faith (ish...) but the opposition parties can say they gave the people the chance to make the final decision now we have vastly more detailed information about what Brexit will actually look like. Confirmatory ref is the democratic and pragmatic way to end the deadlock. A general election DOESN'T work: because we might have another hung parliament, plus it muddies the waters with people voting for all sorts of issues, rather than specifically settling the Brexit question
doc214 - “pretty petty narrative” Did he mean the government was being petty? They were just trying to get an election, which obviously was needed. In any case they got their election and their majority.
It’s certain. E.U. ambassadors are going to grant an extension, we just don’t know how long. The Scottish Courts are standing by to take Johnson to task if he tries to prevent a motion getting the extension voted on. The E.U. is waiting until Monday to see how parliament decides to handle the election before giving a date. There will be no No-Deal exit on October 31.
damn as a german it astonishes me how this mess still continues to exist its almost as ridiculous as the mess of our capital airport that was supposed to be opened in 2012 I wonder about what will get finished first
Jack Perry, you're right. Season 4 is going to end as Mr Speaker screams his last OORDAAAA before leaving the scene in full glory. But I trust Season 5 will as entertaining. Prepare for Christmas Special - Brexit Finally: Customs Armageddon, feat. Brenda from Bristol.
It should be mentioned that in case the deal is finished and agreed from both sides, the *extension must not be completed.* UK just drops out of EU after the agreement is there and people set the date of exit in it. So even if the EU grants until June 2020, UK can still exit with the agreement in december or january.
In the referendum, we didn’t vote to leave the EU, we have voted for Brexit. So Theresa may was right, Brexit means Brexit, as in becoming the country of Brexit where this is the only thing we discuss and the only thing we vote for in general elections and european elections.
I love how Corbyn acts as if matters of social justice will decide the next election instead of, you know, that other thing thats been going on for years now.

Thanks for your spiel Boris, we don,t need to vote for another govt, weve got one yours, so just do what you,ve promised and 17.4million voted for which was Leave NO DEAL as we were told all along a vote for no deal was out of everything trading, treaties ,laws all of it, so we knew what we were voting for no doubts. And as NO DEAL is the default in Article 50(2) even the thick remainer MPs knew what they were voting for when they voted for its activation, so they know that when they ask for NO DEAL to be taken out of the equation, they have more chance of seeing blue snow than that happening. So my advice you have a deal/treaty, parliament won,t accept, default kicks in 31st NO DEAL, if Barnier offers extension decline/ignore as it,s a response to an illegal letter, that any Tom Dick or Harry could have sent as it,s unsigned.
That may well be so because your idiotic Tory government maneuvered you guys into this pickle. See to a parliament that is actually able to legislate, see to a 2nd referendum with a more decisive outcome and move on to becoming a modern society.
@@Baccatube79 Sure. What can the government do if they lack a majority and all the opposition does is delay forever. An election is the only reasonable way to break that deadlock.

@@GH-oi2jf Please explain how. The comment is still valid and still stands..... just because the second biggest buffoon in Parliament at the time, i.e. Corbyn fell for it.
No. It will be voted down. Then we will leave with No Deal because the parliament voted against everything and the time has run out. A deal was offered. Parliament voted to delay again. We don't even have an extension yet. So right now we are out with No Deal next week.
@IDDQD They haven't and no they do not. Of course if something happens between now and the emergency summit on the 30th of October then sure that would change the situation.
Why would people want a bad thing to "finally be done"? It might not be bad for you, but why would people who it would be bad for want to get it over and done with, rather than take longer until other people agree not to make it be a bad thing for them?
MUM! The news man said a word I didn't like! For real though, calling people scared is petty. It's petty when two normal people call each other scared in a normal argument. Let alone in the centre of English democracy but I don't know maybe BREXIT has dissolved our political system to the point of calling each other chickens and pussies for having a different political belief. Step into line, pussy.
It's so odd to me. Here in the Netherlands, the government *needs* a majority to stay in power. Whereas in the UK, it only needs a majority when the government is being formed, but it doesn't need to keep the majority
In normal circumstances a government with no majority would be disolved by vote of no confidence, but as this would likely result in a general election the opposition haven’t got the numbers and thus haven’t brought a motion to dissolve the government
Freedom of expression, not voting is as much a statement as voting, I have no interest in being ruled, I have no trust in any politician to be in power. If forced It would simply be another vote for the monster raving lunatic party
Because of how our first past the post system works the Brexit Party would be lucky to win a single seat, let alone enough to push the Tories into a majority.
@@NauticalNightmareDeep As opposed to a general representation which is what was used in the European elections and is ironically why the Brexit Party did so well in the last one, our general elections operate by a first past the post system which essentially means it doesn't matter how many votes the other parties get in a constituency only one seat will be given out to the party with the most votes. This is why despite coming 2nd in many constituencies in the last GE, UKIP failed to win a single seat. As forming a coalition with the Brexit party will therefore be unlikely to grant the Tories many or even any extra seats this would be unlikely to happen, as they'll need to command as many seats as possible to command a majority over parliament (more seats than all the other parties combined, a requirement for forming an effective government) and to have any real chance of passing through any new Brexit bills.
Greetings from Erskine May: if government wants to bring back a motion to dissolve parliament again and again and again, we'll see about - what? - 20-30 openings of parliament over the next 12 months period?
The parties have now cemented their policies towards Brexit and now any vote cast won't be done with ambiguity over the party stance instead with absolute certainty. This election, now there is certainty on party direction, will effectively be the second referendum. If you wish to have a second vote I believe that the only party mandating for that is Labour, but only if they are unable to broker a deal that passes parliament.
the only thing on someones mind when voting right now would be brexit.... so they can get away with pretty much anything as long as they support the side of brexit that wins
@@wenlambotomy6231 They could wish to have a second referendum in order to reaffirm the vote of the original as the fluidity of democracy has thrown in the argument the result has potentially changed. The idea every person who calls for a second referendum is just after a different result is ridiculous when plenty of leave supporters wish to have a second vote in order to demonstrate the will to leave hasn't changed to Parliament. Also considering many argue now that the will of the people has always been to leave without a deal it would make sense to have a way of demonstrating that was indeed the case. It affirms people want to leave still as much as it affirms people wanting to remain and the only reason you'd disagree with a second vote at this stage after so long is you're worried the side you support may lose it.
To be fair, it's not reasonable to expect the EU to sort out UK political problems. The UK should do that. Of course, that seems just beyond reach for the UK at the mo (and over the last three and a half years). All this hooting and hollering, on either side, hasn't moved the ball forward at all. The current deal was on the table over a year ago (until the DUP discovered and nixed it). A December election, if it lowers turnout, may help the Conservatives, as older voters tend to be more committed voters.
I really love your videos, they are really informative and easy to understand for non-UK citizens, like me. I have a question though... What will happen to EU citizens currently living and working in the UK? Will they be "deported" or fired? Will they need to get visas renewed from one day to another? Can the UK's system handle that much requests? What will happen to UK citizens living in the EU? Since they will not be EU citizens after brexit happens, they will not be subject to free travel and stuff... Does anyone know how a brexit deal will play off on lower levels?
The UK already has the "EU settlement scheme" which allows EU citizens who are living in the UK to remain there post-Brexit. After applying, you will either be granted settled status or pre-settled status depending on the amount of time you've lived in the UK. Settled status is granted if you have lived in the UK for 5 years continuously (or longer). With settled status you can apply for British citizenship and even if you dont, you gain the majority of benefits of being a citizen. You will lose this status if you leave the UK and don't return for more than 5 years. Pre-settled status is the same, however you will need to reapply after 5 years and you lose it if you leave the UK for more than 2 years (you will still need to stay for 5 years continuously if you wish to be "upgraded" to settled status and citizenship). As for UK citizens living in the EU, i think the Johnson's deal will leave their situation much as it is now; however in the event of no-deal, i don't think that the EU or any member states have made any sort of declaration about the status of UK citizens in the EU.

@@pierrelindgren5727 no, it won't. LibDems will likely have a strong showing, Labour will likely be the greatest loser of this GE
Because the mandate is there for this, Cameron was out of touch
Loses what?
Remember unless the EU agree to an extension Boris only needs to wait until Friday and we're out of the EU.
Even if they do Boris didn't sign that letter so he could easily keep them busy to notice what he's actually doing.
Gregorius Zgonface Lib Dems are irrelevant. Tories will lose more seats, it’s likely the Brexit party will pick up a lot of seats and form a coalition with the tories. I doubt Farage will piss around if the coalition has even a slight majority.

@@boostav then we shouldn't have enacted the result of the 2016 referendum, because the one we already had from 1975 said we should be in, right?
@@laggyjaggi8666 Here we go with another strawman argument, you remainers really can't help yourself. The 1975 referendum was about the EEC not the EU, that alone is enough to prove you wrong but if you hadn't noticed it also happened a little less than half a century ago. There's a slight difference between 44 years and 3.
I think I’m lost here ... I thought Labour generally wanted a second referendum because they think the British people in total are opposed to Brexit. A general election seems like it’s essentially a referendum on Brexit. Why is it now the conservatives who want an election, and Labour will block it ?
Labour still wants to make sure the EU has given them a long enough extension.
If there's a no deal exit on the 31st because of an EU refusal, having a campaign and a general election while parliament is supposed to be passing emergency laws as fast as possible would turn the UK into a complete mess.
On the other hand, Macron said he would only grant an extension if a general election is planned, but maybe Orban would veto an extension? It's all very foggy and confusing, but I get Labour's point
No that's because Labour is afraid to lose remainers voters to the LibDems.

You misspelled Corbyn. Bond fought commies after all.
@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd No, the USSR killed off the socialists (socialists wanted worker-owned means of production - everyone owning the place that they work, be it farm land or factory etc, communists want state-owned means of production) notably as part of industrialising, as there wasn't enough food for massive growth of factory labour, so the farms were collectivised... which is why, what started out with the aim of being "socialist republics" became communist, basically once Stalin got his claws into it.
But really, I don't even consider "socialist" to even be a word anymore, as it's basically impossible to use it to convey any agreed upon meaning. Its use guarantees that more people will misunderstand you than will understand you.
Nice chess game to minimize UK's control and maximize UK's damage to their international competitiveness.
Well done setting up this game.
A fear that the public will not vote for you to keep your seat doesn't sound like a valid reason to not have a general election. Isn't that the whole point of a GE, so people can assign seats to the candidates in their constituency that best represent them?

This vicious cycle is absurd. The EU will not give an extension without an election and MPs will not vote for one without the extension.
Your statement is incorrect. The EU does not wait to get a general election, they wait so that the topic of general election is solved before they say something. It's their way if staying out of this as much as possible. I have a feeling they would prefer the UK does not have a general election. It's another 5 weeks wasted minimum when nothing is done to finish the agreement.
I would swear this mess was happening in Italy of I didn’t know it was in the UK
Luiz Battistel - The difference is that in Italy coalition government is a permanent condition. In the UK the condition is temporary, because the voting system tends to produce majorities. The substantial majority given to Johnson will give him a fair chance to get Brexit done.

4:06 What a load of crock! No-deal literally hasn't been taken off the table yet because the extension hasn't been secured yet.
It can,t be.
No Deal is still not off the table. The date is at Johnson's discretion (under the FTPA). Unless the extension is the same as requested, the UK will crash out without a Deal on the 31st, just like Johnson promised. An 1 Line Bill also has the disadvantage that the date would be locked and not necessarily at Johnson's choosing.
The other point is Johnson can dissolve parliament immediatly after they voted for it. General Elections have a minimum time of 25 work days, so how can there be any continued processing on the agreement after that?
Which is what I was implying. Granted, the announcement of the date is still the Monarch's role, but She does so at the recommendation of the PM. But the Queen is rather apolitical. She does not get involved in political matters beyond what is advised/required by her council and PM. Which is only right in a democracy that still has the Monarch at the top.
Otherwise She could take a lot more influence, including against the people. Brexit is a very controversial topic. The UK should Remain (at least in the Single Market/Customs Union), but 17 million people still voted to "retake control." If the Monarch said "No." to that (for example by kicking out Johnson who lied and continues to lie about these things), then we would have a weird mess of the UK's sovereignty at work but an unelected official exercising it. With many claiming that the Queen is collaborating with Brussels.We don't need that mess.

Not that any sane and reasonable person would vote for them, but the brexit party has been gearing up for a GE (and/or a 2nd referendum), with farrage spouting his propaganda via various channels since the European Parliament elections. There are enough Brits gullable enough to vote for the Brexit Party if a hard Brexit has not happened, for it to seriously impact the parliamentary arithmetic. Going into an election is as much of a risk for Tory MPs as it is for Labour. LibLabGreen pact would be prudent so as not to complete for the non-tory vote, but they won't do that as usual, so it means a risk of hung parliament again. If only the course of an election bill is taken to overcome the FTPA, with amendments as you suggested AND change to proportional representation rather that FPTP!! What a positive impact that would have on democracy.

We tried a snap election in 2017, and that made things worse in the sense of political stalemate. Just pass the current Brexit deal but subject to a confirmatory referendum, that way the government can say they honestly sought to implement the 2016 ref in good faith (ish...) but the opposition parties can say they gave the people the chance to make the final decision now we have vastly more detailed information about what Brexit will actually look like. Confirmatory ref is the democratic and pragmatic way to end the deadlock. A general election DOESN'T work: because we might have another hung parliament, plus it muddies the waters with people voting for all sorts of issues, rather than specifically settling the Brexit question
Petty? Are we editorializing?
Yes
Has been for awhile.
Yeah I didnt like that. Wasnt necessary.
doc214 - “pretty petty narrative” Did he mean the government was being petty? They were just trying to get an election, which obviously was needed. In any case they got their election and their majority.

If you say so.
It’s certain. E.U. ambassadors are going to grant an extension, we just don’t know how long. The Scottish Courts are standing by to take Johnson to task if he tries to prevent a motion getting the extension voted on. The E.U. is waiting until Monday to see how parliament decides to handle the election before giving a date.

It should be mentioned that in case the deal is finished and agreed from both sides, the *extension must not be completed.* UK just drops out of EU after the agreement is there and people set the date of exit in it. So even if the EU grants until June 2020, UK can still exit with the agreement in december or january.
In the referendum, we didn’t vote to leave the EU, we have voted for Brexit. So Theresa may was right, Brexit means Brexit, as in becoming the country of Brexit where this is the only thing we discuss and the only thing we vote for in general elections and european elections.
I love how Corbyn acts as if matters of social justice will decide the next election instead of, you know, that other thing thats been going on for years now.

A general election, and Brexit, are two totally separate issues. A lot of tory voters don't want Brexit...but they don't want tax increases, either.
Thanks for your spiel Boris, we don,t need to vote for another govt, weve got one yours, so just do what you,ve promised and 17.4million voted for which was Leave NO DEAL as we were told all along a vote for no deal was out of everything trading, treaties ,laws all of it, so we knew what we were voting for no doubts. And as NO DEAL is the default in Article 50(2) even the thick remainer MPs knew what they were voting for when they voted for its activation, so they know that when they ask for NO DEAL to be taken out of the equation, they have more chance of seeing blue snow than that happening. So my advice you have a deal/treaty, parliament won,t accept, default kicks in 31st NO DEAL, if Barnier offers extension decline/ignore as it,s a response to an illegal letter, that any Tom Dick or Harry could have sent as it,s unsigned.
"A lot depends on when the EU agrees to an election" ? srsly, are you saying they decide when we can have elections now?

If things stay the same than your right
the EU agreed to an extention and the UK can't leave without the consent of the EU so you're wrong
IDDQD yeah but not a date; until a date is given the 31st is still valid as default

No

Why would people want a bad thing to "finally be done"? It might not be bad for you, but why would people who it would be bad for want to get it over and done with, rather than take longer until other people agree not to make it be a bad thing for them?
It will never be agreed to by Remainer MPs because they know they will lose their jobs.

"They can scrutinize until the suspension of parliament"... which is as soon as the GE is set, so basically he's not allowing any scrutiny at all
They can scrutinize until the end of the extension date set by the EU. Which we'll find out about on Monday.

Step into line, pussy.
No one cares what you think you're entitled to
It's so odd to me. Here in the Netherlands, the government *needs* a majority to stay in power. Whereas in the UK, it only needs a majority when the government is being formed, but it doesn't need to keep the majority
In normal circumstances a government with no majority would be disolved by vote of no confidence, but as this would likely result in a general election the opposition haven’t got the numbers and thus haven’t brought a motion to dissolve the government

Tory & Brexit Party Coalition is my prediction.
Because of how our first past the post system works the Brexit Party would be lucky to win a single seat, let alone enough to push the Tories into a majority.
Robin Powell Okay, I don’t understand that ?
@@NauticalNightmareDeep As opposed to a general representation which is what was used in the European elections and is ironically why the Brexit Party did so well in the last one, our general elections operate by a first past the post system which essentially means it doesn't matter how many votes the other parties get in a constituency only one seat will be given out to the party with the most votes. This is why despite coming 2nd in many constituencies in the last GE, UKIP failed to win a single seat.
As forming a coalition with the Brexit party will therefore be unlikely to grant the Tories many or even any extra seats this would be unlikely to happen, as they'll need to command as many seats as possible to command a majority over parliament (more seats than all the other parties combined, a requirement for forming an effective government) and to have any real chance of passing through any new Brexit bills.

How does a general election fix Brexit? We need a final referendum, deal or remain on thr ballot.
If Brexit-party gets majority, then Brexit is likely.
The parties have now cemented their policies towards Brexit and now any vote cast won't be done with ambiguity over the party stance instead with absolute certainty. This election, now there is certainty on party direction, will effectively be the second referendum. If you wish to have a second vote I believe that the only party mandating for that is Labour, but only if they are unable to broker a deal that passes parliament.
‘Final Referendum’ is that keep having referendums until you finally get the result that you want.
the only thing on someones mind when voting right now would be brexit.... so they can get away with pretty much anything as long as they support the side of brexit that wins
@@wenlambotomy6231 They could wish to have a second referendum in order to reaffirm the vote of the original as the fluidity of democracy has thrown in the argument the result has potentially changed. The idea every person who calls for a second referendum is just after a different result is ridiculous when plenty of leave supporters wish to have a second vote in order to demonstrate the will to leave hasn't changed to Parliament. Also considering many argue now that the will of the people has always been to leave without a deal it would make sense to have a way of demonstrating that was indeed the case.
It affirms people want to leave still as much as it affirms people wanting to remain and the only reason you'd disagree with a second vote at this stage after so long is you're worried the side you support may lose it.
To be fair, it's not reasonable to expect the EU to sort out UK political problems. The UK should do that. Of course, that seems just beyond reach for the UK at the mo (and over the last three and a half years). All this hooting and hollering, on either side, hasn't moved the ball forward at all. The current deal was on the table over a year ago (until the DUP discovered and nixed it).
A December election, if it lowers turnout, may help the Conservatives, as older voters tend to be more committed voters.

Ufff ... sigh. Plug ends at 0:52.

I really love your videos, they are really informative and easy to understand for non-UK citizens, like me.
I have a question though... What will happen to EU citizens currently living and working in the UK? Will they be "deported" or fired? Will they need to get visas renewed from one day to another? Can the UK's system handle that much requests? What will happen to UK citizens living in the EU? Since they will not be EU citizens after brexit happens, they will not be subject to free travel and stuff... Does anyone know how a brexit deal will play off on lower levels?
The UK already has the "EU settlement scheme" which allows EU citizens who are living in the UK to remain there post-Brexit. After applying, you will either be granted settled status or pre-settled status depending on the amount of time you've lived in the UK. Settled status is granted if you have lived in the UK for 5 years continuously (or longer). With settled status you can apply for British citizenship and even if you dont, you gain the majority of benefits of being a citizen. You will lose this status if you leave the UK and don't return for more than 5 years. Pre-settled status is the same, however you will need to reapply after 5 years and you lose it if you leave the UK for more than 2 years (you will still need to stay for 5 years continuously if you wish to be "upgraded" to settled status and citizenship).
As for UK citizens living in the EU, i think the Johnson's deal will leave their situation much as it is now; however in the event of no-deal, i don't think that the EU or any member states have made any sort of declaration about the status of UK citizens in the EU.
