Should You Leave Vs. Should We Stay

Despite the fact the social benefits of EU membership are often overshadowed by the economic and political aspects, the loss of these benefits would negatively impair the freedom of the UK people, and negatively impact UK businesses. The free movement of UK citizens throughout the EU to travel, to attend school, live, and retire. Businesses do not only benefit by having to follow one set of regulations, but also benefit from having a larger source of potential employees to chose from. The EU employment rate in the UK is 3.3%, while they make 4.5% of

How likely is it that an integrated Europe will fall apart? What are the benefits and costs for Britain to leave the European Union?

Since 1973 when the British first joined the European Union their membership has been a controversial issue. When conservatives in the United Kingdom won the general election in 2015, their election manifesto promised to hold a referendum on whether or not the United Kingdom should stay or leave the European Union. The referendum also referred to as “Brexit” is scheduled to take place by the end of 2017. The United Kingdom initially joined the union to be part of the common market for the purpose of trade and to develop international relationships. The main argument for those who are pro Brexit is that being part of the European Union is too costly for the United Kingdom, that the EU has grown to large, has interfered to far into

Leave campaigners believe that leaving the EU is most beneficial for England. Their conservative and old-fashioned views further reinforce their belief.

What kind of harm will Britain pulling out of the European Union cause to the equilibrium, even with them taking precautions?

Perhaps the greatest uncertainty associated with leaving the EU is that no country has ever done it before, so no one can predict the exact result. One of the biggest advantages of the EU is free trade between member nations, making it easier and cheaper for British companies to export their goods to Europe. However some economic researchers believe these savings outweigh the billions of pounds in membership fees Britain would save if it left the EU. The UK would also risk losing some of its negotiation power internationally by leaving the trading bloc, but it would be free to establish trade agreements with non-EU countries.

On the other hand, the pro-EU party hold opposite opinions relative to Eurosceptics party. On the political front, the European Union is based on the law. Briton protected by the EU employment laws and social protection. Once UK secede from the EU means that Briton no longer protected by the European Union law (BBC, 2015). Then, EU is an important trading partner to Britain, seceding from EU, Britain have to face trade barrier, which means UK have to pay the tariffs when import and export (BBC, 2015). Furthermore, with the international manufacturers transfer to the low-cost countries inside the EU, UK would lose a large number of employment opportunities.

First, by leaving European Union, Britain’s trading with other EU countries will be negatively affected. Being a member of the EU helped Britain in the reduction of trade costs with European countries. Members of European Union agreed on having no tariff barriers within them, which resulted in the creation of a Single Market inside Europe. The Single Market allows the member countries to trade in services and goods for free and without tariffs, which can positively benefit the countries. As a result of Brexit, Britain would no longer be in the EU’s Single Market, but would have to pay taxes on their exports to other European countries and the exports would face additional costs. As a consequence of rise in the costs of trade with European countries, the British export businesses would likely become less competitive in the EU

I have come to the conclusion that my hypothesis is valid, it would be disastrous if the UK decided to leave the EU.

The future of the United Kingdom has never been so uncertain. The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, is keeping the promise he made in 2015, to hold a referendum on whether or not the United Kingdom should remain a member of the European Union. The referendum will take hold on Thursday, 23rd of June of this year. But the results of the last opinion poll held on April 12th to 14th, show, that the British public is fairly evenly split, as 40% want to remain in the European Union and 39% want to leave. The members of the United Kingdom Independence party and other British keen to leave the Union, argue that the UK and its policy makers are being held back and manipulated by the EU, who make too many rules for business, immigration laws and charges billions of pounds a year in membership fees for little in return and undermining the British interests. However, the UK’s investment in the membership and acceptance of rules of the EU, gives the UK far more benefits by allowing it to grow academically, economically and ensures safety for all its citizens and is therefore better off staying a member of this peacemaking Union.

A vote to leave the EU would start a long and complicated process that would result in a fundamental change in the UK's relationship with other members of the EU. There are pros and cons should BREXIT were to follow through.

One of the most visible benefit of the membership in the EU is the absence of trade tariffs between its members. However non-European markets are becoming more important for British producers because of the stagnation of the Eurozone economy and economic growth of the other region especially Asian one. Main claim against membership in the EU is that Britain sells much more goods to the EU than buys. Still this is barely a good reason to leave the Union. Mainly the EU’s trade surplus is accounted by only two counties: Germany and Netherlands, so the UK will not be able to dictate its terms after exit (Sprinford, Tilford and Whyte, 2014). In addition open market with the EU counties boosts the UK’s economy providing more labour and capital for producers. If Britain withdrew from full membership some options may take place in trading relations. Researchers mostly agree that British exit will directly cut the UK’s income from trade in the case of any not free trade agreements. However, the new free trade agreement seems likely to take place.

The two prevailing opinions regarding the European Union are that the United Kingdom should either withdraw from the EU or renegotiate to give the UK greater independence from it. These views are not in keeping with the increasingly globalised and international nature of society and are based largely on myths and misinformation.

in or exit the union. The referendum will give the opportunity to Britons show what they think

This could translate to a loss of around 500,000 jobs. Post Brexit, businesses will not be able to afford to employ the amount of staff it currently has and will mean a large decrease in many businesses exports. The vote has also led to many migrants looking away from the UK for work, in May this year farmers were reporting 17% shortfall in migrant workers for their seasonal picking work and virtually all these came from eastern Europe.
