English village votes to leave the UK over migrant housing plan
Residents of Piddington voted in a symbolic referendum on a plan to house up to 1,256 male asylum seekers in their village. The vote expressed opposition to the proposal. This referendum was non-binding, meaning it cannot force the UK government to change its decision, but it represents local sentiment against the housing plan.
