“ It ’ s now or never ,” added Boris Johnson . “ If we fail to make the change now , then we will continue to be like passengers locked in the back of a minicab with a wonky satnav driven by a driver who doesn ’ t have perfect command of english and going in a direction we frankly don ’ t want to go .”
The British people formed two camps . While the “ leave ” campaigners were convinced they would all be stronger and richer without Europe , the “ remain ” camp threatened economic catastrophe and was generally backed by most international leaders .
As high profile leaders encouraged The United Kingdom to stay apart of the European Union , most thought a British Exit was high unlikely . The campaign remained well regulated until this drama occurred . Just days away from polling day , Jo Cox , who was leading the campaign to remain in the European Union , was murdered in broad daylight , by an individual who shouted “ Britain first ” as he shot the labour MP .
The campaign was suspended for several days and during this time the anti-brexit vote increased . It was generally believed that this drama had swung the balance . So as early results began to come in , on 23rd June , it was complete shock .
Nearly 52 % of the British population voted to leave and after years of waves of increases in members , Europe was to experience its first departure . This unexpected exodus shocked the world and would only be surpassed by another political upheaval that would take place this time in the US .
