Brexit has been significantly influenced by the Brexit debate so this video will explore its economic impacts on the UK once its leaves the EU as well as how it affects immigration. Immigration wasn’t a contentious and top issue until May 2004, when the Eastern European countries Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia joined the European Union. For the purposes of this video, they will be known as EU-8 countries. EU-2 countries Romania and Bulgaria joined in 2007. The EU has made up a significant portion of immigration into the UK over the years with such as 31% of immigration in 2004 and 66% in 2015. The EU-8 immigration meant that annual net immigration rose from on average 35000 before 2004 to 172,000 in 2007. This greater scale in immigration led to a movement to stop freedom of movement which was an aspect of the EU single market and when reform failed, the Brexit referendum was held.
