From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
**Brexit** ([/ˈbrɛksɪt, ˈbrɛɡzɪt/](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English "Help:IPA/English")) was a movement that promoted that the [United Kingdom](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom") (UK) leave the [European Union](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union "European Union") (EU). The name "Brexit" is a [portmanteau](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau "Portmanteau") of "British" and "exit".
On 23 June 2016, the UK made a [referendum that asked whether the UK should leave the EU](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum "2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum"). The result was that 51.9% of the [UK electorate](https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electoral_roll&action=edit&redlink=1 "Electoral roll (not yet started)") (the main region of the UK) voted that the UK should leave the EU. The rest wanted the UK to stay in the EU. On 29 March 2017, the [UK government](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_the_United_Kingdom "Government of the United Kingdom") said that they will definitely be leaving the EU. This started the procedure of Article 50 of the [Treaty on European Union](https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Treaty_on_European_Union&action=edit&redlink=1 "Treaty on European Union (not yet started)"), a law that deals with countries that leave the EU. The UK was expected to fully leave the EU on 29 March 2019 at 11 p.m. [UTC](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC "UTC").[\[1\]](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit#cite_note-1) The deadline to leave was later changed to 31 October 2019.[\[2\]](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit#cite_note-2)
On 15 January 2019, [Theresa May](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theresa_May "Theresa May")'s government was defeated in the [House of Commons](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom "House of Commons of the United Kingdom") by 230 votes in a vote on her deal to leave the European Union.[\[3\]](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit#cite_note-3)
On 24 December 2020, a post-Brexit trade deal was made.[\[4\]](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit#cite_note-UK_and_EU_agree_post-Brexit_trade_deal_-_BBC_News-4)
