MISSSION 2 What
were their reasons for wanting the UK to leave?
1.READ THE PARAGRAPH AND ANSWER THE QUESTION
They said
Britain was being held back by the EU, which they said imposed too many rules
on business and charged billions of pounds a year in membership fees for little
in return. They also wanted the UK to make all of its own laws again, rather
than being created through shared decision making with other EU nations.
Immigration was
also a big issue for Brexit supporters, They wanted Britain to take back full control of
its borders and reduce the number of people coming here to live and/or work.
One of the main
principles of EU membership is "free movement", which means you don't
need to get a visa to go and live in another EU country. The Leave campaign
also objected to the idea of "ever closer union" between EU member
states and what they see as moves towards the creation of a "United States
of Europe".

MISSION 3 Who
wanted the UK to stay in the EU?
1.READ THE PARAGRAPH AND ANSWER THE QUESTION
Then Prime
Minister David Cameron was the leading voice in the Remain campaign, after reaching an agreement
with other European Union leaders that would have changed the terms of
Britain's membership had the country voted to stay in.
He said the
deal would give Britain "special" status and help sort out some of
the things British people said they didn't like about the EU, like high levels
of immigration - but critics said the deal would make little difference.
Sixteen members
of Mr Cameron's Cabinet, including the woman who would replace him as PM,
Theresa May, also backed staying in. The Conservative Party was split on the
issue and officially remained neutral in the campaign. The Labour Party,
Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru, the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats
were all in favour of staying in.
The then US
president Barack Obama also wanted Britain to remain in the EU, as did the
leaders of other EU nations such as France and Germany.

MISSION 4 What
were their reasons for wanting the UK to stay?
1.READ THE PARAGRAPH AND ANSWER THE QUESTION
Those
campaigning for Britain to stay in the EU said it got a big boost from the EU
economy - it makes selling things to other EU countries easier and, they argued,
the flow of immigrants, most of whom are young and keen to work, fuels economic
growth and helps pay for public services.
They also said
Britain's status in the world would be damaged by leaving and that we are more
secure as part of the 28 nation club, rather than going it alone.

MISSION 5 what
was the opinion of the business sector ?Where they in favor of remaining or
leaving ?
1.READ THE PARAGRAPH AND ANSWER THE QUESTION
Big business -
with a few exceptions - tended to be in favour of Britain staying in the EU because it makes it easier for
them to move money, people and products around the world.
Given the
crucial role of London as a financial centre, there's interest in how many jobs
may be lost to other hubs in the EU. Some UK exporters say they've had
increased orders or enquiries because of the fall in the value of the pound.
Others are less optimistic, fearing products for the European market may have
to be made at plants in the EU.

of the most prominent Leave campaigners
Who led the rival sides in the campaign?
- Britain Stronger in Europe - the
main cross-party group campaigning for Britain to remain in the EU was
headed by former Marks and Spencer chairman Lord Rose. It was backed by
key figures from the Conservative Party, including Prime Minister David
Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne, most Labour MPs, including party
leader Jeremy Corbyn and Alan Johnson, who ran the Labour In for Britain
campaign, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru, the Alliance party and the SDLP in
Northern Ireland, and the Green Party. Who funded the campaign:
Britain Stronger in Europe raised £6.88m, boosted by two donations
totalling £2.3m from the supermarket magnate and Labour peer Lord
Sainsbury. Other prominent Remain donors included hedge fund manager David
Harding (£750,000), businessman and Travelex founder Lloyd Dorfman
(£500,000) and the Tower Limited Partnership (£500,000). Read a Who's Who
guide. Who else campaigned to remain: The SNP ran its own
remain campaign in Scotland as it did not want to share a platform with
the Conservatives. Several smaller groups also registered to campaign.
- Vote Leave - A
cross-party campaign that has the backing of senior Conservatives such as
Michael Gove and Boris Johnson plus a handful of Labour MPs, including
Gisela Stuart and Graham Stringer, and UKIP's Douglas Carswell and Suzanne
Evans, and the DUP in Northern Ireland. Former Tory chancellor Lord Lawson
and SDP founder Lord Owen were also involved. It had a string of
affiliated groups such as Farmers for Britain, Muslims for Britain and Out
and Proud, a gay anti-EU group, aimed at building support in different
communities. Who funded the campaign: Vote Leave raised £2.78m. Its
largest supporter was businessman Patrick Barbour, who gave £500,000.
Former Conservative Party treasurer Peter Cruddas gave a £350,000 donation
and construction mogul Terence Adams handed over £300,000. Read a Who's Who
guide. Who else campaigned to leave: UKIP leader Nigel Farage
is not part of Vote Leave. His party ran its own campaign. The Trade Union
and Socialist Coalition is also running its own out campaign. Several
smaller groups also registered to campaign.
