remainers
People who stay
Remainers is a British political term for people who supported the United Kingdom staying in the European Union, particularly during and after the 2016 Brexit referendum.
The term emerged alongside its counterpart, Leavers, and remains common in discussions of post-Brexit politics.
Remainers argued that EU membership provided economic stability and diplomatic influence.
The singular remainer can describe an individual holding this position.
