Summary/Abstract: Britain has notified its intention to rescind membership of the EU, and the decision to do so carries with it several areas which are of interest to negotiators and politicians from both the British and European side. These are in what form a trade agreement will take as there are several models which could be followed; the rights of both british and EU citizens on either side; the internal politics of the European Union and the individual member states’ reaction to Britain’s desire to leave; the future shape of the European Union –be it centralisation, federalism or outright fragmentation- and fi nally, if Britain, considering these issues, can achieve a ‘Brexit’ which both parties involved in the negotiations can agree upon.
