The Brexit Vote

The Brexit vote was a 2016 referendum in which the UK public decided whether to remain in or leave the European Union (EU). Approximately 52% voted to leave, driven by concerns over national sovereignty, immigration, and economic regulation. The decision led to complex negotiations with the EU, aiming to establish new trade and legal arrangements. Brexit marked a significant change in the UK’s relationship with Europe and the world, resulting in legal, economic, and political adjustments. It reflected diverse opinions on identity, governance, and economic control, shaping the UK's future direction.
