The Impact of Brexit
The political, constitutional, economic, and social consequences of the UK's departure from the European Union.
Real World
The Northern Ireland Protocol — later renegotiated as the Windsor Framework (2023) — created an effective trade border in the Irish Sea, triggering the collapse of the Stormont Assembly and years of political deadlock between unionists and the UK government.
Exam Focus
Distinguish constitutional consequences (restored sovereignty, devolution tensions) from political consequences (party realignment, 'red wall' seats) — examiners reward precise categorisation.
