Abstract

On 23rd June 2016, a referendum on Britain's staying in the European Union was held. The electoral turnout was very high (72%) 52% of the preferences were for Leave. So, the referendum result returned the image of a country divided between Euroskeptics and pro-Europeans. The aim of this article is to highlight whether the vote was not only an expression of the opinion about the European Union, but also the clear manifestation of a malaise linked to the influence of other factors, such as the economic crisis and the immigration.
