Britain was in a global union with 27 other countries. Through this they were able to trade goods, allow people from the other countries in the union to travel to other countries in the union and be involved in a multitude of markets. This may all seem well and good, but the problem is lack of control.
Any countries in the EU have to follow EU laws. If Britain disagreed with a law, there wasn't really much they could do about it. Immigration, VAT/taxing and other standards are regulated by the EU. So if they set a rate, Britain would have to apply it to it's own country.
Now that they have voted to leave the EU, and once Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty has been activated, they will be able to start the divorce between the UK and the EU. If this article doesn't get started, then the UK doesn't officially leave the EU.
