Brexit - How we got here

We are modelling various aspects of Brexit, the UK's decision to leave the jurisdiction of the EU political union but to remain a strong friend and ally of all European sovereign nations. Here we use a typical TRIZ '9 boxes' template to show factors before, during and after the referendum. The role of the EU, UK and UK politics is shown. The model does not attempt to be complete. Combined with the other models of Brexit we have developed it adds to the picture by providing evidence for the debilitating arguments that took place after the vote, the UK being roughly split, 50/50, on the decision.
