«REMAIN WINS» refers to the outcome of the United Kingdom’s referendum on its membership in the European Union. The «Remain» option was in favor of the UK staying within the EU, while the «Leave» option was in favor of the UK leaving the EU.
The referendum took place on June 23, 2016, and the results were announced on June 24, 2016. In a historic decision, 51.9% of voters chose the «Leave» option, while 48.1% chose «Remain». The turnout for the referendum was 72.2% of eligible voters.
The decision to leave the EU had significant implications for the UK’s economy, politics, and society. Negotiations between the UK and the EU on the terms of the withdrawal began shortly after the referendum, and a withdrawal agreement was reached in November 2018. The UK officially left the EU on January 31, 2020, and entered a transition period until December 31, 2020.
The impact of the UK’s departure from the EU is still being felt, as both sides continue to negotiate future trade agreements and work to address issues related to immigration, security, and other areas of mutual concern.
