Brexit (portmanteau of "British exit") was the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. The UK officially left the EU on 31 January 2020, ending its membership that began in 1973. With Brexit, EU law no longer has precedence over British laws, but relevant EU laws are retained domestically, subject to UK amendments or repeal under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Background[edit | edit source]
Brexit, the UK's decision to leave the EU, was prompted by longstanding concerns over national sovereignty, immigration, and the impact of EU regulations. The Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister David Cameron, faced internal divisions on the EU question, leading to Cameron's promise of a referendum during the 2015 general election.[1]
Referendum of 2016[edit | edit source]
Held on 23 June 2016, the referendum offered voters the choice to remain or leave the EU. The "Leave" campaign, emphasizing national sovereignty and immigration control, secured a narrow victory with 51.9% support. This outcome initiated the complex process of Brexit, fundamentally reshaping the UK's relationship with the EU and triggering subsequent political and economic developments.[1]
During the referendum, the data mining company Newton Analytica was paid a large sum of money by the Abstergo Financial Group to influence votes.[2]
Impact[edit | edit source]
By 2022, the United Kingdom had started negotiations on their third free trade agreement post-Brexit.[3] The proposed trade agreement with India and the United Kingdom's political relations with India have been strained by the current perceived[4] whereabouts of the Koh-i-Noor which India still lays claim to.[5] As of 2024, these negotiations are ongoing.[3]
