All you need to know about the UK's EU referendum
The British Prime Minister David Cameron recently announced that the referendum (vote) on Britain's membership of the European Union (EU) will take place on 23rd June, 2016 to decide on whether the nation should remain a part of the European Union or exit the bloc (hence the term Brexit). Understanding Britain's referendum on its EU membership can be important for your upcoming competitive exams.
Therefore, in this article we will discuss the basic aspects of the UK's referendum on EU, its pros and cons and how it will shape the future of Britain's relationship with the EU.
Background:
When British Prime Minister David Cameron was voted to power in 2015, he committed to renegotiate Britain's position in the EU and hold an In-Out referendum on this issue. Therefore, he has decided to conduct the In-Out vote on 23rd June.
EU - a 28-nation alliance
The European Union (EU) is a political and economic bloc with 28 member countries. It was established after World War II to promote greater economic ties between European countries and prevent the reoccurrence of war and its socio-economic aftereffects. Since its establishment, the EU has developed into a 'single market' permitting free flow of goods, services and people. It has its own currency (euro), parliament and laws.
Brits to cast the deciding vote
* A referendum refers to a vote cast by the electorate (people of voting age) to decide a political issue directly referred to them. UK's referendum on the EU will ask British voters to decide on the question, "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" Options for their response include remain a member/leave the EU.
* Those eligible to vote include British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens who are over 18 years of age and live in UK. In addition, citizens of Malta and Cyprus and UK citizens who have bee residing overseas for less than 15 years can also vote.
Arguments against Brexit
1. Those in support of the UK remaining a part of the EU argue that the country will be stronger, safer and better-off in the Union than it would be outside it.
2. Some argue that 45% of UK's trade goes to the EU. Thus, being a part of it helps to avoid export tariffs and red tape. EU regulations condense 28 national standards into one European standard, thereby cutting down red tape and promoting business. Cheaper flight rates, lower tariffs on call while travelling and cheaper prices of commodities are added benefits Britain enjoys by being an EU member.
3. Many contend that the benefits outweigh the cost of being a non-member. As per the Confederation of British Industries, "All the trade, investment, jobs and other prices that come from our economic partnership with Europe is worth £3,000 per year to each household." However, the annual contribution of the UK to the EU stood at £340 for each household.
4. Supporters of the UK's membership in the EU assert that it enhances cooperation and the ability to tackle global issues. According to Will Straw, executive director of Britain Stronger in Europe, "The UK and Scottish governments' efforts to wipe out the Ebola virus were boosted by EU funding. And the EU has imposed sanctions on Russia and beaten piracy off the Horn of Africa, both priorities for us in the UK."
Arguments in favour of Brexit
1. Those who wish for the UK to exit the EU see the referendum as an opportunity to liberate the country's business and trade from the political and financial bottlenecks of the bloc. Leading English weekly The Economist writes, "It can secure trade deals with other important countries such as China, India and America."
2. Britain contributes £350 million to the EU every week, which is equivalent to half of England's school budget. If UK opts out of the Union it may be able to use the same amount to develop new industries and promote scientific research within the nation.
3. Supporters of Brexit also state that the UK has little influence in the EU. Thus, from outside it can retake seats on international institutions and strongly influence free trade and cooperation.
4. Many also feel that the withdrawal of membership will help Britain to regulate its policy on immigration. In this regard, the Vote Leave campaign website states, "Having a sensible regime for the movement of people that allows us to replace the awful immigration policy we have now-a combination of an open door for low-skilled labour and convicted criminals from the EU while simultaneously stopping highly skilled people from outside the EU coming to the UK to contribute."
Conclusion:
Presently, most of the opinion polls on this subject reflect that public opinion in Britain is balanced. The European migrant crisis and global financial instability has driven many to support Brexit. However, the final decision hangs on the results of the referendum that will be held on June 2016.

Respected Sir,The age limit for Combined Graduate Level Exam, which is conducted by SSC is only 27 years as compare to other examinations like UPSC civil service Exam for which it is 32 years. Even the age limit for Railway Exam is 33 years, whereas for IBPS PO (Banking Services) it is 30 years. Those who belongs to the General category has to suffer a lot. We take 3-4 years to become a graduate. After being a graduate, there are only few attempts left for General Category candidates to appear for CGL exams considering 1 to 2 years of preparation for the exam. Also the expert committee for recruitments to group B non- gazetted posts recommended age limit to be fixed at 30years back in 2006 itself. The matter is in DOPT for last many years buts no progress has been made so far. If age limit is increased to 32 years for CGL exam, then youth of the nation will have 5 additional chances who otherwise are jobless considering the limited chances one gets till the current age limit of 27 years. Its very imperative and reasonable issue. We request you to look into this and change the age limit for CGL exams from 27 years to 30 years with an umbrella notification for all departments and ministries, so that the youth of the nation can have more chance to get a government job and serve the nation.

Dear friends, All the major exams have the age limit up to 30 years for the GENERAL category candidates. It is injustice done by SSC for us to put it as only 27 years. we have filed the case in CAT about this issue. we are going to file it in the HIGH COURT tomorrow(as directed by CAT). we have hired one of the best lawyers available for this. we are hopeful of getting a positive news as soon as possible. Please like and support this Page, This is the time we can do it for Ssc cgl age relaxation up to 30 years. https://m.facebook.com/groups/360405504167505?multi_permalinks=485614774979910&_rdr Meanwhile, kindly copy n paste the matter given below in the pubic grievance portal http://pgportal.gov.in/ . Try to file as many grievances as possible. step-1 lodge the grievance under "personnel and training (department) step-2 select "CGL exams related issues" in the grievance cateory. Then copy n paste the matter below. Dear Sir Subject-Misleading remarks by Department of Personnel and Training on Upper Age-Limit 30 years matter With reference to complaint number DOPAT/E/2015/02184 the Department of Personnel and Training has taken action on 24.02.2016 and provided us with the details that "As per the OM of DOPT dated 31.12.2010 regarding framing and amendment of Recruitment Rules for various Central Government Civilian posts,the upper age limit for posts carrying grade pays of Rs 4200/-,Rs 4600/- and Rs 4800/- is 30 years.However,the Recruitment Rules pertaining to certain posts namely (1) Assistants in CVC,IB,Ministry of Railways,Ministry of External Affairs,Armed Forces Headquarters (2) Inspector of Income-Tax,Central Excise,Central Bureau of Narcotics,Preventive Officer,Examiner,(3) Inspector of Post and (4)Divisional Accountant in CAG for which recruitment is made through Combined Graduate Level Examination by SSC continue to reflect the upper age limit as 27 years.In this regard the Department of Personnel and Training has taken up the matter with concerned Ministry/Departments for amending the upper age limit in the Recruitment Rules from 27 years to 30 years.Hence the grievance application is to be replied by the (1) CVC,(2) Ministry of Home Affairs,(3)Ministry of Railways,(4)Ministry of Defence,(5)Ministry of Finance,(6) Department of Posts,(7)Ministry of External Affairs. Interestingly,Ministry of External Affairs in its another complaint Registration Number MEAPD/E/2016/00612 replied as " does not pertain." Here it is necessary to mention that the Department of Personnel and Training claims that the grievance is to be replied by the Ministry of External Affairs whereas the Ministry of External Affairs replies that the matter does not pertain with this organization. The complainants seek their grievances will be addressed properly but the declations made by the above two organizations do not resolve the issue of upper age limit. As we know that the Department of Personnel and Training issues guidelines on Recruitment Rules and therefore we request you to resolve this issue immediately and increase the upper age limit to 30 years for the posts mentioned above. Thanking you sir Government Job Aspirant.
