In 2016, the United Kingdom voted to stay in the EU.

The statement is false. In 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum known as "Brexit," in which the majority of voters decided to leave the European Union (EU). The Brexit campaign was led by the conservative party and supported by many who believed that the UK would be better off outside the EU, allowing them to regain control over their borders, laws, and trade policies. It was a historic decision that ultimately resulted in the UK formally leaving the EU on January 31, 2020.
