The next general election in the United Kingdom will take place in 2020. If the Article 50 notice is served in 2017, it is possible that the process of UK withdrawal from the European Union (EU) will not be concluded before the election. That might allow the UK electorate to take a second look at their decision on June 23 to leave the EU.
Although there is still no date set for the referendum on whether the UK withdraws or not from the European Union, it’s looking very much like this could take place in October 2016. Prime Minister David Cameron has said his intention is not to abandon the EU, but rather reshape its ties with Britain. But key analysts think his strategy could be risky and, in the end, go against him and jeopardise his political future.
