10 years after the Brexit vote

145

10 years ago there was an important vote. The people in Great Britain voted for Brexit. Brexit means the exit from the European Union.

Almost 52 percent of the people wanted to leave. They hoped for a better economy. They wanted fewer people from other countries. The official exit happened in 2020.

Today the economy is not good. Trade with the EU is difficult now. There are more rules and higher costs. Many goods from abroad are now more expensive.

Immigration is not lower. Many people come from other countries. These countries are not in the EU. Examples are India or Pakistan.

Many young people are not happy today. They want to return to the EU. Many people regret their old vote. This feeling is called 'Bregret'.

Politics has no plan to join again. The leader Keir Starmer steps back. The country looks for a new way for the future.
