The Impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland, The UK, and the EU

1 The Impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland, The UK, and the EU Classmate One Your analysis of the Impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland, The UK, and the EU is very concise and articulate. The impact on the labor market is one of the most severe. After Brexit, the UK has experienced a labor shortage, and there was even a time when the shortage of drivers led to a severe fuel supply crisis that retailers had to do rationing (Alvarez, 2021). One impact that is very crucial and you failed to mention is the emergence of Northern Ireland as an important trade route for goods moving between the EU and the UK. Since goods from the EU can enter the UK without customs checks, tariffs, or new paperwork, some manufacturers from the EU take their goods to the UK through NI to evade this paperwork and duties. Some manufacturers from the UK also Export to the EU through NI.

I either do not agree or do not fully understand some of your arguments about who has lost or gained due to Brexit. Firstly, you have said that Germany will have a labor shortage of 3 million skilled workers, but the positions will not be accessible to UK workers. I think the UK will also probably have a labor shortage at that time, and its citizens will not need jobs in foreign labor markets. You have also stated that Brexit has derailed the process of globalization, but I think this is a subjective argument since some people value national pride over international integration.

Classmate Two Hello I agree with your analysis of the impact of Brexit. Disruption of the labor movement is one of its leading impacts. Before Brexit, workers could move from EU countries with weaker economies like Poland to the UK to do unskilled and semiskilled jobs like trucking and hospitality jobs. Both parties benefited since the workers got employment opportunities, and the UK got a steady labor supply (Duda-Mikulin, 2019). Brexit has made it difficult for such individuals to move to the UK, making the labor shortage to be very severe.

I tried to understand your argument on the impact of Brexit on the EU and Northern Ireland, but it did not come out quite clearly. You only mentioned that Brexit had weakened the continent. I agree with your observation that Brexit gives the UK an opportunity to pursue an independent trade policy. However, I think it would be better if you mentioned whether it has gained or lost due to an independent trade policy.

1. The UK: Brexit has also had a significant impact on the UK as a whole. The UK has lost its access to the EU single market and customs union, which has affected trade and caused supply chain disruptions. Many UK businesses have also faced challenges in exporting to the EU, and some have relocated to EU countries to maintain access to the single market.
