Abstract

This article discusses the history of the United Kingdom as a member of the European Union. It looks at the demographics of the votes for 1975 and 2016 Referendums on the membership in the Union. I find that changing demographic trend – the aging of the UK population - is the reason for the “Leave the Union” majority vote in 2016 Referendum.
