Vote Leave was a political campaign in the United Kingdom that advocated for leaving the European Union (EU). Launched in 2015, it aimed to persuade the public that exiting the EU would allow the UK to regain control over its laws, borders, and trade policies. The campaign emphasized themes of sovereignty and economic independence. The campaign played a significant role in the 2016 EU Referendum, where voters decided whether to remain in or leave the EU. Ultimately, the majority voted to leave, leading to the UK's departure from the EU on January 31, 2020.
