Should The United Kingdom Withdraw From The European Union?

The impacts of tourism on Britain helps to define the potential impacts of Brexit due to the benefits of being in the European Union. European Union, EU, refers to “an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries” (Hunt, 2016). This partnership has its own regulations in a wide range of areas, such as borderless policy and single market. These regulations made a positive impacts of tourism in Britain because it promotes Britain’s cultural and its economic growth. Therefore, this paper will illustrate how

The issue of whether or not the United Kingdom should remain a member of the European Union has been debated heavily over the past decade, with the debate heating up even more from the current European Sovereign Debt Crisis. Recent polls of the UK population showed that around half of the UK’s citizens would vote to pull out of the EU if it went to referendum. However, after all of the economic, political, and social advantages of being a member of the EU are considered, it remains clear that leaving the EU is not in the UK’s best interest. Economically, it does not make sense for the UK

With diminishing control of what happens in Britain, the British people decided it was best to vacate the union. The British were dealing with the laws given by the European members who were not living and experiencing the country themselves. To provide an example of a ghastly law given to the British people, they, as part of the European Union, were only allowed to catch 20% of the fish swimming in British territorial waters. What this meant was that tens of thousands of jobs were lost and they were not able to use one of the most significant resources given to them, as Britain is surrounded by ocean. Nigel Farage, Leader of the UK Independence Party, says that his fellow Englishmen, “effectively gave away the ability to look after one of our greatest resources to a bureaucracy based in Brussels.” Because of the way the government was set up, “Not only could the voters not change anything, but the institutes themselves are incapable of reform.” With an already maimed government, the European Union was creating more problems than it was solving. The British people had enough of giving up their rights as British citizens so the European Commission could tell them how to live. Therefore, with problems like those arising from the Union and with no hope to resolve them, Britain filed for secession and pulled out of the union

Throughout the history of European integration, the major UK parties have debated on all different aspects of Europe and the impacts of membership on Britain itself. From both these debates and party policies, it is clear to see that whilst there is generally a consensus over Europe, some issues have been a cause of disagreement among the major parties. In this essay I will analyse the policies and actions of the major UK parties that concern the EU and be able to conclude to what extent they agree over Europe.

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.

There is no doubt that Brexit has caused a divide amongst the UK population, with 52 to 48 percent in favor of leaving. “Take back control” has been at the forefront of the Brexiter’s campaign. It is argued the UK Parliament has lost its power since joining the European Union (EU) in 1973.

The United Kingdom should not leave the EU because it would hurt trade, mess up it's own economy, and may tear apart the EU.

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

The decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union has served in reshaping the way politics works in Europe. On June 3rd, 2016 a massive 30 million people came out to vote on the future of their countries. In the end, the vote to leave won 51.9% to 48.1%. Places like England and Wales both voted in favor of the exit, while Scotland and Northern Ireland voted overwhelmingly to stay in. While the long term effects of this decision obviously need time to be observed, the immediate economic impact has been somewhat mixed. The day after the vote was a cause for concern in that “the pound slumped after the referendum - and remains around 10% lower against the dollar and 15% down against the euro” (Wheeler 17). In contrast to this,

The United Kingdom initially joined the European Union in 1973 for economic reasons hoping to promote trade and form relationships with other states in the Union. In 1975 the UK held its first national referendum on withdrawal from the European Economic Community. According to the poll,” 67 % of Britons voted to stay in the EEC and 32 % voted to leave the union” (GYE). Because of this result the UK stayed in the EU in 1975. Over the past 40 years the European Union has been through a lot of change, many more countries have joined the organization and the EU has extended its control over more aspects of daily lives. These changes have sparked a lot of controversy coming from both the UK public and

On Thursday 23rd of June, the UK decided to leave the EU via a referendum. This was a shock to not just the British public, but also the world as it resulted in a colossal level of uncertainty for everyone. But how did this unexpected result happen? One reason why the British public voted to leave the EU can be blamed upon the scaremongering that was proceeded by the British media. I will be focusing on the time period from 2004 until now because this is the period after the A8 (Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovenia, Estonia, Slovakia, Poland and Czech Republic) joined the EU.

The European Union was established as an economic and political partnership between 28 European Countries (European Union, 2015). The UK has been stayed in the EU for over four decades from 1973 to now. In 1975, Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson had ever held a referendum on Britain’s membership in the EU and the voting result is to stay in the European Community. Recently, the article (BBC NEWS, 2015) reported that the UK has a plan to hold the second referendum by the end of 2017 to decide whether or not the UK should stay in or leave the European Union. This might be a significant referendum that may bring lots of impacts on the UK’s economy.

Since United Kingdom (UK) vote to leave the European Union (EU), there was no realistic prospect for the second referendum. This would be a political shock that would be create political instability in the United Kingdom (UK) and political uncertainty in Europe. There are no immediate legal impact, the prospect of significant economic uncertainty and disruption would be reflected in the financial markets. The United Kingdom (UK) votes to leave the European Union (EU). David Cameron would be called to find this hard to resist as he will lost the confidence of his party and the person who negotiate a new relationship with the European Union (EU).

"If we weren't in there helping write the rules they would be written without us and we wouldn't like the outcome," said David Cameron last year. If Britain went for a clean break up from the EU, its exports would still be subject to EU export tax and would still have to meet EU standards. So why would we leave? Many think that if we remain in the EU that the UK will be subject to a “Blue Print” that is made up by the people in Brussels. This is wrong; we may be subject to many rules such The Common Agricultural Policy, Common Fisheries Policy and Free trade but these were all put in place to help benefit us like the Farmers who receive two very important things: Subsidises and job security.

The recent UK referendum sent shockwaves throughout the West and the wider world; few people had predicted that the British people would vote to leave the EU. So what led Brits to say a firm 'no thank you' to continued membership of the European Union? A look at surveys, statistics and anecdotal evidence may help us to solve this puzzle.
