       On June 24, 2016, the United Kingdom (UK) voted to leave the European Union (EU), sending the global market into chaos, leading Prime Minister, David Cameron, to give up his job, and causing a shock wave across the world. The voters gave support to a British exit (a “Brexit”) from the European Union, and then the whole country voted again on it. The result showed 51.9% of people agree to leave the EU, while 48.1% of people wanted to stay. The British people have different ideas； many of the people in London, Scotland, and Northern Ireland think staying is better. 

        The UK is the first out of the 28 member countries to leave the EU. The British pound dropped to its lowest since 1985. About 64% under 30-year-old people wanted to stay in the EU because they don’t want to lose job opportunities in Europe, and 56% of people over 56-year-old voted to leave. To leave or not to leave, it’s not an easy question.                                                   (References: CNN June26,2016) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
