A referendum is a nation-wide vote which allows a country to change something very important about their nation.
The UK is currently part of a group called the European Union, and group which dictates things such as: price of fuel, price of vat, Immigration ect. So whatever they set the price at, the UK and all other member states have to comply with.
If the UK leaves the EU, they are able to set their own rates and have more control on what they spend the money on. It's a massive decision which could either save the UK or break the UK.
