Abstract
The social concern with Britain's relationship with the European Union has been growing for the last several years. As everybody knows, on the23rd of June 2016 Britain decided to end the membership of the European Union. Although studies have been made on Euroscepticism, there is little agreement on the underlying cause of Brexit. The purpose of this study is to examine the 2016 EU referendum andthe so-called Brexit. I will concentrate on the following issues: (1) the reasons that a British Conservative, David Cameron held a referendum on the question of Remain or Leave, and (2) the outcome of the EU referendum in every English region outside London.In conclusion, Cameron's Conservative statecraft has a connection with holding the EU referendum, and historically Englishness is not irrelevant to Brexit. But the effects of Englishness in England on the geographical distribution of 'Leave' voters is opento discussion.
