Britain Of The European Union

Immigration – the UK does not have enough control over its borders. Under the current EU’s fundamental right of free movement, any citizen of a member state is permitted to move and work in the UK without first obtaining a visa, and in some circumstances, access to benefits. Additionally, the migrant crisis that has found its way to the UK’s doorstep in Calais, France has created a cause for concern as migrants endlessly try to make it to UK soil and claim asylum. By leaving the EU, Brexiters argue, the UK government will have the power necessary to stop and control the migrant invasion.

This report will look at the benefits and issues surrounding the UKs decision to remain as a member state of the European Union (E.U.). Along with the newly elected conservative government, came the announcement that a nationwide referendum would be held, by the end of 2017, in order to determine the British public’s stance on the issue of EU membership.

While the contributions of all member-states in the EU have been important and appreciated, the UK has brought a lot to the table that many other countries couldn’t. For example, the UK’s influence and the weight of just its name. For hundreds of years the UK has been powerful and if it had something to say, the world would listen. When the UK joined the EU it was a monumental victory for the existing member parties, because it meant that a powerful country, that could bring credibility and importance to a coalition previously lacking in both areas, would be joining their ranks.

This article explains the “on-going” argument of whether or not Britain should remain in the European Union or leave. Prime Minister David Cameron vowed to keep Britain apart, winning the backing of most of most of his Cabinet and the goal of rival parties. Cameron has made it clear Britain is safer and stronger in the EU. However, much of Britain believes in opposition to their membership among the the European Union, leaving this as a constant

In 2017, the people of Great Britain will make a straight choice, whether to stay in the European Union or leave it. Staying in the organisation will, with some reform, help boost trade, create jobs and empower power. The prospects of leaving however are not so good. Millions of jobs lost, our economy tarnished and living standards plummeting all just to give our politicians some more power to make laws. In this essay I will detail why staying in the EU is the right thing to do for our people and we must leave the powerhouse at our own peril.

It is overwhelmingly in the economic interests of the other EU countries to do a free-trade deal, with zero tariffs and quotas, while we extricate ourselves from the EU law-making system.

Within Britain any law can be changed by the Governing party and this highlights the instability of our current, partially codified constitution which is not entrenched in law. It has long been debated as to whether Britain actually has an elected dictatorship as there is no ultimate document of overall authority which defines the powers between executive, legislature and judiciary(www.parliament.uk, 2014). Once a political party have been elected we as citizens have to trust that they will abide by their promises given in manifestos and continue to listen to the general public’s wants and needs.

One of the central themes of the EU debate revolves around the issue of national sovereignty. The European project has always involved, to a certain extent, the relinquishing of some national sovereignty, but in trying to persuade Europe’s established nations to cede powers to a European centre, often without the consultation of the general public, has created a growing eurosceptic backlash, a narrative that has been well received in Britain.

Brexit, or the secession of the United Kingdom from the European Union, has become the number one political discussion in Britain, and is the topic of an upcoming public referendum. This referendum vote will take place on June 23rd 2016 and will ask British citizens to vote Yes or No on retaining membership in the European Union. Many of the current British politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron, are in favor of remaining in the EU. Though some say reforms and negotiations are needed in order to do so. While there are also a number of other politicians that believe leaving the EU is the best choice. UKIP (UK Independence Party) leader Nigel Farage and London Mayor Boris Johnson are leading the march towards independence. Both

Literature review: In September 2017 Thomas Sampson from The London School of Economics and Political Science wrote a Literature on Brexit. The title of the literature was Brexit: The Economics of International Disintegration. In this literature review I will briefly summarise the literature wrote by Thomas Sampson.

On August 24th, 2016 at the Heritage Foundation, a panel of speakers discussed the next steps on the road to Britain’s Independence from the European Union. The panel included Iain Murray, Vice President for Strategy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and co-author of Cutting the Gordian Knot: A Road Map for British Exit from the European Union, Rory Broomfield, Director at the Freedom Association and the Better Off Out campaign and co-author of Cutting the Gordian Knot: A Road Map for British Exit from the European Union, Marian L. Tupy, Senior Policy Analyst at Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, Cato Institute, and Victoria

On June 23, 2016, a major decision was announced to the world that would send ripples of ambiguity with regards to the future of Britain and how their role globally would affect financial markets: The Brexit. The Brexit is perhaps one of the most monumental, nationalistic and financially influential choices the world has seen within the past decade. As Britain moves closer to individualizing itself from other European countries, the future of financial institutions and markets comes into question as it becomes filled with uncertainty and potential volatility. A look at the importance of Britain in the European Union (EU), the reasons why Britain made the profound choice to exit, and the influences the Brexit will have overall, can give insight as to what expectations financial institutions can possibly have in the upcoming future. Though financial institutions will adjust accordingly to the upcoming and current instability, it’s ultimately the market that will figure itself out and gravitate upcoming volatility towards the mean.

British Citizens made a choice on the 23rd June 2016, to leave the European Union. The UK has been a member of the European Union (EU) since 1973 and the EU gives many economic benefits to member’s countries, such as free movement of labour, harmonisation of regulations and the stability of being in the world’s largest trade block within 28 united countries.

One of the main objectives of the European Union (EU) is the establishment of the internal market, which shall consist of “area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured. The internal market is based upon a customs union achieved through the abolition of the imposition of customs duties and charges having an equivalent effect and the prohibition of discriminatory taxes on intra-EU imports. The internal market is enhanced by the provisions on free movement of workers, freedom of establishment, free movement of services, and free movement of capital. Whereas Articles 28 to 30 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) provide for the establishment of an EU common external tariff and the elimination of customs duties, Articles 34 and 35 of the TFEU (with exceptions under Article 36) go further, and prohibit quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect. Taken together, Articles 28 to 32 and 34 to 36 serve to ensure the free movement of goods within the EU and to facilitate the operation of the internal market.
