The United Kingdom will finally be exiting the European Union should all things remain equal as Members of the European Parliament ratified the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement in favour of the split 621 to 49. With this in place which signifies the EU’s consent on the Withdrawal Agreement.
Several of the EU’s Member of Parliament expressed optimism and hoped that the United Kingdom would maybe in the future reconsider again being a part of the bloc. They all sang Auld Lang Syne to commemorate the decision.
After the official leave, there will be an 11-month transition period where both parties will have to negotiate their future economic relationship.
The UK voted to leave the EU bloc in 2016 and made several attempts to leave the bloc, the most recent one being the 31st of October but failed to tender agreement that favoured both the leaving and retaining parties.
The UK is scheduled to leave the bloc by January 31, 23:00 GMT on Friday.
