Prompt Detail:
The decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, commonly referred to as "Brexit," was primarily driven by concerns over sovereignty, immigration, and trade.
Many Britons felt that the EU's regulations and laws infringed on their country's ability to govern itself, and that the EU was taking too much control over their daily lives. There was also a belief that the EU was not doing enough to address the issue of immigration, which was seen as putting a strain on public services and driving down wages.
On the trade front, some people in the UK felt that the EU's regulations were stifling business growth and hindering the country's ability to strike its own trade deals with other countries.
These issues led to a referendum in June 2016, in which 51.9% of the UK electorate voted to leave the EU. The process of negotiating and implementing Brexit has been a complex and contentious one, with many challenges still to be resolved.
