Brexit is an acronym for two English words: ‘Britain’ and ‘exit,’ and it refers to the United Kingdom’s (UK) departure from the European Union (EU). The voters were asked the question ‘Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or quit the European Union?’ and Brexit received 51.89 percent of the vote. As a result, on January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union.
