Brexiteer
British withdrawal supporter
A Brexiteer is a supporter of Brexit—Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.
The term emerged during the 2016 referendum campaign and typically describes those who advocated for or voted to leave: Brexiteers celebrated the referendum result.
The word parallels "musketeer" or "privateer," lending a swashbuckling or ideological air to the position.
