Leave Campaign

The Leave Campaign refers to the movement that advocated for the United Kingdom to exit the European Union (EU) during the 2016 Brexit referendum. Supporters argued that leaving the EU would give the UK greater control over its laws, borders, and trade policies, as well as reduce contributions to the EU budget. The campaign emphasized themes of national sovereignty and immigration control, appealing to many who felt the EU's regulations were limiting. Ultimately, the campaign successfully influenced the public vote, leading to the UK’s decision to leave the EU, which formally occurred on January 31, 2020.
