Second Brexit Referendum
Brexit is the name given to the UK decision to leave the European Union. The EU is is a political and economic union of 28 member states that are located primarily in Europe. It has an area of 4,475,757 km² and an estimated population of about 513 million. 28 is soon to become 27 as the United Kingdom is set to leave the EU on the 29th March. The Brexit vote was a campaign promise by David Cameron in his 2015 general election in order to make sure UKIP who are a far-right political party didn't take their voters and cause a Labour government. The UK uses a first by the post voting system where you vote for one MP in your area and the first to 326 wins. If unable to get to that number, a hung parliament is caused, which has happened twice in the history of the UK. In the summer of 2016, the historic Brexit vote took place and leave won. However, it has emerged that vote leave broke electoral regulations during the campaign and have been fined £100,000, the most famous example was the bus which lied about the amount of money the UK sent to the EU.

However, his form began to change as it came to the clay court season with Novak stating, "It's the first time in two years I've been able to play without pain," referring to the constant elbow problems that had caused him pain. He got to the third round in Monte Carlo, knocked out early in both Barcelona and Madrid, but got to the semi-final of Rome when he was knocked out by the eventual champion Rafael Nadal. He got knocked out in the quarterfinal at the second gland slam of that year after showing some signs of improvement. He went on to dominate the season after this, only losing four more times to Marin Cilic, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Karen Khachanov, and Alexander Zverev to reclaim the top spot.
