The European Coal and Steel Community only had six members: Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany. The ECSC was formed shortly after WWII, hoping to unite European countries economically and politically in order to secure ever lasting peace. In 1990, the European Union was formed and had twelve member states. Eleven of the countries adopted a common currency, the euro. However, the United Kingdom, along with a few other nations, refused to relinquish its national currency. The early 2000s was a period of booming growth for the EU, until the financial crisis that began in the United States spread to Europe. Greece, Spain, and Portugal, and other poorer nations within the EU undergone a complete collapse in their economies.

Voters in favor of leaving the EU won by 52 percent to 48 percent. This decision will negatively impact the future of the United Kingdom (Bisconti,
Free Will vs. The Human Instinct Despite the evolutionary evidence that violence is part of our nature as humans to back the claim that we are prone to it, our minds no longer lack the ability to decipher how to react to certain situations. We are not fighting each other for food to feed ourselves and our families anymore; why would we need to use this aspect of our brains that grow ever smaller over the years? We can now control most if not all of our resources as humans with conversation and action as a unit, so violence is only another fruitless distraction to the course and progression of human history. Well, our control over such instincts may not be as strong as we’d like to think it is; explaining war and violent outbreaks still going on today.

One of the greatest strengths of LMX theory is that it focuses a lot on communication. As mentioned in Northouse (2013, p. 170) “communication is the vehicle through which leaders and subordinates create, nurture, and sustain useful exchanges.” Many workplace issues arise when there is poor communication between leaders and from leaders to team members, making this an important inclusion into the research on leadership.

This was experienced as European leaders did not follow best suited polices, in particular failure to terminate credit crunch and loosening the monetary conditions quicker. Also the option they chose of pushing austerity to economies that have ample fiscal space was a contributing factor to this (Sandbu, 2015). The possibility of leaving debate was sparked by the prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, who narrated of an in/out vote during the referendum on the current EU membership of Britain. He proposed that if the Conservatives remained in power on 7th of May, then this would be achieved by end of 2017 (R., 2014, April 29). In the elections to be held in Britain, decision will be made on the direction of trade policy with Britain’s greatest partner in trade (EU). The vote is split along two sides of those supporting the move and those opposing it with the Conservatives preferring to move out of EU while the Liberal Democrats and Labor are inclined on staying thus oppose the move. There are several hot topics that divide these two groups and they are discussed in detail in the paper.
