Remain/Leave Campaign

The Remain/Leave campaign refers to the political debate in the UK regarding whether to stay in or leave the European Union. The Remain side argued that staying would benefit economic stability, access to the EU's single market, and international influence. The Leave side believed leaving would allow the UK to regain sovereignty, control immigration, and tailor laws independently. The campaign culminated in the 2016 referendum, where the majority voted to leave, leading to significant political and economic changes. This debate centered on issues of national control, economic impacts, and the UK's relationship with Europe.
