Brexit: British or European?
According to the laws of most countries, one gains one’s nationality from the country of one’s birth, and this is certainly the case in the UK.

And many of those born in the UK after 1973 have grown up feeling themselves to be, first and foremost, Europeans. Now with Britain leaving the EU, people must decide where their emotional allegiance lies and for many this presents a painful choice.
