Brexit is the name given to the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union. It is a combination of “Britain” and “exit”. On 23 June 2016, the UK held a referendum on its membership of the EU; 51.89% of voters voted to leave the EU. The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020. Security Remain • A union better equips Britain to tackle threats to security (like terrorism and cross- border crime). Leave • Britain’s domestic security could benefit from full border controls which it would hope to gain outside the EU. Trade Remain • Access to the EU market is invaluable in terms of commercial value and facilitates the exchange of goods, services between Member States. Leave • Membership of the EU keeps Britain from fully capitalising on trade with other major economies such as Japan, India and the US. Business Remain • Free trade within the EU reduces barriers and enables companies to grow. Leave • The EU subjects Britain to slow and inflexible bureaucratic red tape, making it more prohibitive for smaller companies to do business.

EU VAT contributions and agricultural subsidies policies cost UK consumers hundreds of pounds each year. Jobs Millions of British jobs linked to Europe and could be put at risk. Improved global trade agreements and more selective immigration could have a positive effect on the British job market.
