remainers

Remainers are a group of individuals who identify as opposed to the decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, commonly known as Brexit. The term "Remainer" is often used to describe those who wanted the UK to remain a member of the EU and opposed the outcome of the 2016 EU referendum, in which a majority of voters chose to leave the EU.

Remainers come from a wide range of backgrounds and hold a variety of perspectives on the EU and its relationship with the UK. Some may have voted to remain in the EU in 2016, while others may have opposed the referendum result but did not vote in the referendum. The Remain campaign during the referendum highlighted the economic benefits of UK's membership in the EU and warned of potential economic consequences of leaving.

Since the referendum, the term "Remainer" has taken on a more complex meaning, encompassing not only those who opposed the referendum result but also those who question the UK's ability to negotiate a successful exit from the EU. Remainers often express concerns about the potential economic and social implications of Brexit, such as the impact on trade, immigration, and the rights of EU citizens living in the UK.

The term "Remainer" has been the subject of controversy and debate, with some arguing that it implies a negative characterization of those who support Brexit. However, the term remains widely used in the UK to describe individuals who opposed the outcome of the EU referendum and continue to advocate for the UK's continued membership in the EU.
