The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has called an early general election on 8 June 2017, arguing that victory for her party would ‘strengthen her hand’ in negotiations on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. In March, her government launched the formal procedure for leaving the Union, by triggering Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The European Council will adopt guidelines for the negotiations on 29 April.
This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports published by major international think tanks on the UK’s plans to leave the EU. More studies on issues raised by the vote can be found in a previous edition of ‘What Think Tanks are thinking’ in February 2017.

[…] and the wider implications of Brexit. More studies on issues raised by the vote can be found in a previous edition of ‘What Think Tanks are thinking’ from April […]
The EU appears to be going out of its way to alienate Britain; far more than any opening gambit for negotiations calls for.
They don’t appear to realise that May going to the Country to increase her majority can also have the effect that if she chooses, she can walk away from the EU negotiations.
The EU is far from being the only game in town. Britain already has at least 15 Countries to step in with a Free Trade deal and they and much of the Commonwealth will jump at the chance of tariff free commerce with Britain. Especially so as the majority are English speaking Nations.
Only in today’s Daily Express, David Coker opines that Britain can walk away from the EU tomorrow and rid itself of any trade loss with the EU by joining NAFTA. In fact, in doing so, it will bring us greater profit than does the EU at this time.
If the EU continues in its truculent vein, they may well find themselves out in the cold as far is Britain is concerned.
