The British are Googling “What Is EU?” En Masse After Already Voting to Leave It

Britain has voted to leave the European Union (EU) in the already-infamous Brexit, a historic move that will force the country into a major economic shift.

The move has also forced the resignation of British Prime Minister David Cameron, who campaigned for the country to remain in the EU.

“The British people have made the very clear decision to take a different path and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction,” he said.

So, despite this major economical and political shift that will most likely result in a nasty recession, the majority of Britain’s citizens are left with several important questions. Most notably, “What is the EU?”
