What does Brexit mean?
It is a word that has become used as a shorthand way of saying the UK leaving the EU - merging the words Britain and exit to get Brexit, in a same way as a possible Greek exit from the euro was dubbed Grexit in the past.
Why is Britain leaving the European Union?
A referendum - a vote in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part - was held on Thursday 23 June 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 52% to 48%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting.

Whether or not one supports the decision, Britain has just voted to leave the EU. One of the stars on the EU flag will need to be returned, perhaps landing on this Bentley, snapped by a Fujinon 55/1.8.
Home Secretary Theresa May becomes British Prime Minister today, after outgoing David Cameron officially resigns at Buckingham Palace. She's only the second woman to grab the country's top job, after Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher.
Sitting here in the US, I'm in no position to comment on whether Brexit was a smart move or not such a smart move, though I do know you folks have raised hell with my retirement accounts. Be that as it may, I'm sure our stock market will eventually settle down, and hopefully, it'll all work out, not only for the UK, but for all of Europe and, of course, us. The 4th of July is approaching, which is our day of celebration for breaking free from Great Britain, and that worked out pretty well, so maybe GB's break from the rest of Europe will work out well, too.
In late August 55 BC, Julius Caesar is thought to have landed on this open beach at Walmer on the Kent coast in the southeast of England. Located roughly 45 kilometers from the French coast this is geographically as close to the European mainland as Britain gets. A concrete memorial plaque nearby commemorates Europe’s initial foray into Britain. This strange-looking configuration of beach huts, within sight of the French coast, may perhaps provide a convenient portal through which the small-minded, blue passport-loving Britons can facilitate their exit from Europe back to the past.
