Brexit refers to Britain's departure from the European Union. On January 23, 2013, former British Prime Minister Cameron first mentioned the Brexit referendum. In June 2016, the British referendum decided to "Brexit". On March 16, 2017, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom approved the Brexit Act and authorized Teresa May to officially start the Brexit process.

Several reasons for Brexit：

1. As the number of British immigrants is increasing, employment in this country is becoming increasingly severe.

2. In order to maintain its original high welfare, the British government wants to unilaterally raise the standards for immigrant population, which the EU does not allow.

3. There are too many countries in the EU. The economy does not reach high standards, but it is necessary to implement high social welfare in its own country, which is tantamount to increasing the burden on other countries.

The disadvantage to the United Kingdom is that the development of EU integration is a general trend, and EU countries are relatively small. Whether it is economic, political, or military, a unified EU is beneficial to the development of all EU countries.
