>The United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union (EU) on 31 January 2020. A transition period is now in place until 31 December 2020.
As far as I can tell from my distant vantage point on the west coast of North America, there is very little doubt left. Brexit has already happened and most of the fallout will be settled by the end of this month. I supposed you could say that it's still in a constant state of happening, but it's well past the point of "not happening" as far as I can tell.

- cogman10 6y agoWe'll see what happens. I mean, it's possible that they actually end up going through with a complete exit on Dec 31. My guess, however, is that there will be ongoing negotiations for a long time to come. The UK is likely to be out but only in the sense that they don't now get to vote on EU resolutions. They'll likely make negotiations with the EU which end up putting them right back where they were (regulation wise). That's my expectation at least. They may feel the full pain of a full exit on Dec 31, I doubt they'll want to continue in that state for very long. There's also the possibility of yet another extension on the transition period.
