Brexit and Geographical Voting Patterns in the UK

Geographically, most of Britain voted to leave the European Union, with dense concentrations of pro-Remain votes in areas like London, Glasgow, and Dundee. London's choice to remain reflects its self-identification as a global city distinct from the rest of Britain, while Scotland and Northern Ireland benefit from EU funds due to their post-industrial challenges.
