What is Brexit?

Brexit is a portmanteau term for "British exit" that refers to the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union. In 2016, a referendum was held in which a majority of voters (51.9%) chose to leave the EU. This decision has far-reaching consequences for the British economy, trade, immigration policies, and relationships with other European countries. Since then, negotiations have been taking place between the UK and EU on the terms of their future relationship, which has been a contentious issue. The process of Brexit has been complex and lengthy, with many debates and changes in direction along the way.
