Vote Leave- Is Britain Better for Brexit?

It has been 75 days since 51.89% of the UK population voted to leave the European Union on 23rd June 2016 and approximately 57 days since David Cameron resigned as leader of the Conservative party and prime minister for the United Kingdom. Since then Theresa May formerly the UK home secretary, has been elected as the new leader of the Conservative Party and premier for the United Kingdom and arguably one of her greatest challenges since her appointment to Prime Minister is how she plans to pioneer what has been appropriately coined 'Brexit' for the UK.

News reports state that she has come under pressure to fulfill some of the original pledges made by the Vote Leave party such as awarding immigration on a points based system and pouring an extra £100 million pounds into the NHS. However when questioned about how she planned to deliver on these promises and lead Britain into leaving the EU she stated: "I'm going to work for what I just said I'm going to work for: the best possible deal for the UK in terms of the relationship that we would have with the EU, following us leaving."

Nonetheless many Brits, myself included, have been left pondering this statement and are left to question how exactly does Theresa May plan to deliver this plan and more importantly are we any better for leaving the European Union?

The beginning of this week saw Theresa May head to the G20 summit in China to discuss trade negotiations  and so far the news has not been favorable. President Obama advised although he will do his best to maintain the economic relationship between the US and UK he will prioritize trade negotiations with the EU and pacific nations over the UK, with Japan warning to move its firms situated in the UK to European headquarters.

Nonetheless we seemed to garner support from Australia with its prime minister Malcom Turner stating he was hoping to secure  a strong and open trade deal with the UK post the 'Brexit' era. However despite this offer of support, there are still many questions facing Theresa May and her conservative counterparts about how she plans to pioneer the move to Brexit with Brits becoming increasingly frustrated with the slogan 'Brexit means Brexit'.

This evening Theresa May left the G20 summit  in China which posed a number of challenges about how she plans to negotiate future trade deals for the UK. However as she returns to the UK, the questions regarding how we will move forward as a nation independent from the EU still remain.Whilst we wait to see what will unfold following the decision to leave the EU in the upcoming months, I'm left to wonder will the UK really be better for 'Brexit'?
