On 23 June 2016, 52% of voters decided that the UK should leave the EU after more than 40 years of membership. But the referendum was not only a political decision – it truly divided British society between „Leavers“ and „Remainers“. The driving force: Excellent political campaigns and clear media narratives.

What kind of messages and slogans were used by the media? How did the Leave campaign manage to portray the EU as a „superstate“ and a „box of money“? And above all: What tactics were used by both campaigns to influence the outcome of a the referendum, and of the future of Britain?
