Igama elithi “British Shift” liquka ukutshintsha kwemozulu yezopolitiko yase-UK kwaye ibingumxholo wengxoxo kunye neengxoxo ezishushu kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo. Ukusuka kwi-referendum ye-Brexit ukuya kunyulo jikelele olulandelayo, ilizwe liye labona utshintsho olukhulu kumandla ezopolitiko kunye neengcamango, ezikhokelela kwixesha lenguqu eliye lashiya abaninzi bezibuza ngekamva lelinye lawona mazwe asekwe kwidemokhrasi.
Imbali ye-UK Switch inokulandelwa kwi-referendum eyayibanjwe ngoJuni 23, i-2016, xa abavoti baseBrithani bevotela ukushiya i-European Union (EU). Isigqibo, esaziwa njengeBrexit, siphawula inguqu kwimbali yelizwe kwaye sivuselele ukungaqiniseki okukhulu ngaphakathi nangaphandle. I-referendum ibhentsise iyantlukwano enzulu kuluntu lwase-Bhritane, kunye nezizukulwana ezincinci ezixhasa ubukhulu becala ukuhlala kwi-EU, ngelixa izizukulwana ezidala zivotele ukuyishiya.
Njengoko uthethathethwano malunga nemiqathango yokuphuma kweBritane kwiManyano yaseYurophu lwaluqhubeka, owayesakuba yiNkulumbuso uTheresa May's Conservative Party wasokola ukwenza isivumelwano esanelisa zombini ipalamente yaseBritane kunye neManyano yaseYurophu. Izahlulo phakathi kweConservative Party kunye nokungabikho kwemvumelwano epalamente ekugqibeleni kwakhokelela ekubeni uMeyi arhoxe kunye nokwaziswa kwenkulumbuso entsha, u-Boris Johnson.
UJohnson ungene kulawulo ngoJulayi ka-2019, ezisa utshintsho olukhulu kwi-UK switch. Wathembisa ukuphumeza "i-Brexit" ngomhla wokugqibela we-31 ka-Oktobha, "yenza okanye ufe" kwaye wabiza unyulo jikelele kwangaphambili ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba uninzi lwepalamente luphumelele isivumelwano sakhe sokurhoxisa esicetywayo. Ulonyulo lukaDisemba ka-2019 lubonakalise ukuba sisiganeko esikhulu esitshintshe imeko yezopolitiko yase-United Kingdom.
Iqela le-Conservative Party liphumelele uloyiso kunyulo jikelele, liphumelele uninzi lwezihlalo ezingama-80 kwiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho. Uloyiso lubonwe njengomyalelo ocacileyo kuJohnson ukuba aqhubele phambili i-ajenda yakhe yeBrexit kwaye aphelise ukungaqiniseki okuqhubekayo malunga nokuphuma kweBritane kwi-European Union.
Ngesininzi esomeleleyo epalamente, utshintsho lwase-UK lujike kwakhona ngo-2020, ilizwe lishiya ngokusesikweni iManyano yaseYurophu ngoJan. 31 kwaye lingena kwixesha lenguqu ngelixa uthethathethwano malunga nobudlelwane borhwebo bexesha elizayo luqhubeka. Nangona kunjalo, ubhubhani we-coronavirus (COVID-19) uthathe indawo ephambili, uphazamisa ingqalelo kumanqanaba okugqibela eBrexit.
Tshintsha i-UK ijongene nemingeni emitsha njengoko ubhubhane uqhubeka nokuphazamisa ubomi bemihla ngemihla kwaye ubeke uxinzelelo olukhulu kuqoqosho lwelizwe nakwinkqubo yezempilo yoluntu. Ukusabela kukarhulumente kule ngxaki, kubandakanya nemigaqo-nkqubo efana nokuvalwa, ugonyo kunye nenkxaso yezoqoqosho, iye yajongwa kwaye iye yasibekela ibali leBrexit.
Ukujonga phambili, iziphumo ezipheleleyo zenguqu yase-UK zihlala zingaqinisekanga. Iziphumo zothethathethwano oluqhubekayo lwezorhwebo ne-EU, ifuthe loqoqosho lobhubhane kunye nekamva lebloc ngokwayo, kunye nokukhula komnxeba wokuzimela eSkotlani, zonke zizinto eziphambili ekumiseleni ikamva laseBritane.
Inguqu yaseBritane imele ixesha elibalulekileyo kwimbali yelizwe, eliphawulwa kukuguquguquka kwemeko yezopolitiko phakathi kweengxoxo malunga nolongamo, ubuni kunye nokuchuma kwezoqoqosho. Izigqibo ezenziwe namhlanje ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ziya kuba nefuthe elikhulu kwizizukulwana ezizayo. Impumelelo yokugqibela okanye ukungaphumeleli kwenguqu yase-UK kuya kuxhomekeka kwindlela ilizwe elisabela ngayo kwimingeni ezayo kwaye inokukhuthaza ubunye kunye nokuzinza phakathi kokungaqiniseki okuqhubekayo.
