Dica de vocabulário: Brexit

Quer entender um pouco mais sobre o Brexit (saída do Reino Unido da UE - União Europeia)?

Este artigo foi publicado antes do referendo de ontem, mas explica de forma simplificada a origem do termo e também fala, em linhas gerais, porque alguns seriam desfavoráveis e outros favoráveis à saída do bloco.

Vocabulário: withdraw (verb): sair, deixar/camp: lado (ex.: "in" camp, "out" camp)
"What is 'Brexit'

Brexit is an abbreviation of "British exit" that mirrors the term Grexit. It refers to the possibility that Britain will withdraw from the European Union. The country will hold an in-out referendum on its EU membership on June 23.
 

Most supporters of the "in" camp base their opinion on the largely unforeseeable economic consequences of exit, rather than an emotional attachment to the EU. Bank of England Governor Mark Carney called Brexit "the biggest domestic risk to financial stability."
 

Supporters of Brexit base their opinion on a variety of factors from the global competitiveness of British businesses to concerns about immigration. Britain has already opted out of the EU's monetary union (meaning that it uses the pound instead of the euro) and the Schengen Area (meaning that it does not share open borders with a number of other European states). "Out" campaigners argue that Brussels' bureaucracy is a drag on the British economy and that EU laws and regulations are a threat to British sovereignty."
