The European Union and the United Kingdom have a long history. Winston Churchill himself is credited with bringing about the idea for the EU as a “United State of Europe”. Many in the U.K are now starting to feel that this may not be the best alliance the U.K could be in. The EU is seen by many Brits as being too much oversight for too little gains. The U.K does not even identify as majorly European, and therefore believe they should not have the oversight of the EU. The United Kingdom leaving the
The European Union has continued to strangle its members with legislative acts that force its members to consider alternative options. Is independent power more powerful? Before we decide on whether or not it would be beneficial for the United Kingdom to leave, we must understand what the European Union is and what it does for the British. “The European Union is a political union of 28 European countries.

This was experienced as European leaders did not follow best suited polices, in particular failure to terminate credit crunch and loosening the monetary conditions quicker. Also the option they chose of pushing austerity to economies that have ample fiscal space was a contributing factor to this (Sandbu, 2015). The possibility of leaving debate was sparked by the prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, who narrated of an in/out
In the next year the people of the United Kingdom will get a chance to choose their countries’ fate: whether they should leave the European Union. What makes this important is that it would be the first country to leave the European Union in a time when other European countries are either in negotiation or planning to join. It would be a big deal as the United Kingdom is Europe’s third largest economy. As the people are about to vote on their future, there are concerns as what would be the economical

People who support thought that being part of the European Union was leaving Britain without identity as a nation, therefore leaving European Union was necessary to restore their culture, sovereignty and to have the complete control over their decisions as a country.

The first step towards communion between the European countries was to implement economic cooperation.
