The UK Membership Referendum was centered around the decision of whether the United Kingdom should remain in or leave the European Union. The referendum came after years of debate within the UK about the country's relationship with the EU. The campaign leading up to the referendum was marked by intense discussions on issues such as immigration, trade, and sovereignty. On the day of the referendum, the majority of voters chose to leave the EU, with 51.9% in favor of leaving and 48.1% in favor of remaining. The impact of the referendum was profound, leading to political turmoil in the UK, with the Prime Minister resigning and a period of uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the UK and the EU. The referendum also had significant implications for the EU, triggering discussions about reform and the future direction of the union. #Brexit #EuropeanUnion #Referendum
