You may have been seeing all kinds of headlines about Brexit over the last few days. Here’s what it is all about.

On Friday, the United Kingdom took a vote on whether or not to leave the European Union. The vote was termed Brexit, which is a term for British Exit. The vote passed and England is now on its way out of the European Union, which some believe is on its last legs, according to CNN International.

This does not mean that England will no longer be considered part of Europe. It is simply the United Kingdom breaking free from the group that constitutes the European Union. While that might be a touch confusing, it basically means that your idea of England doesn’t need to change, other than realizing the political ramifications.

Basically, England no longer wants to be held to the ideals of the EU. The United Kingdom has been celebrating its exit from it, perhaps something that has been in the minds of folks for quite some time.

This will also be impacting the immigration from refugees. It will be fasxinating to see what happens as we go into the coming weeks and months for those in the United Kingdom.
