Abstract
On 23 June 2016, the British electorate voted to leave the European Union (EU). This article uses poll data of BES (British Election Study) and investigates the factors of voting which brought this historical result. After considering some factors of voting behavior (socio-demographics, issues such as economy, immigration and sovereignty, distrust of politics, nationalism, contact of media and political leader evaluation, etc.) separately, the multivariate statistical model which included those factors comprehensively is built. Next, the hypothesis that Leave voters have three types of group is inspected.
