Brexit‑10 Years Later
Column Published in syndication June 24, 2026About 10 years ago, voters in the United Kingdom (UK) voted to leave the European Union (EU). Key issues in the decision included a desire for more control and autonomy, with less immigration without the EU's policy of free movement. Proponents thought the UK would not only save billions of pounds in EU membership fees but would also be able to negotiate better trade deals without the EU bureaucracy. After heated debate, the referendum narrowly passed with 52% of voters choosing to leave.
