Britain Should Remain In The Eu

Front 1

What are the economic benefits?

Back 1

Uk is part of the worlds biggest single market! This enables not just free trade but a common set of rules so that business does not have to comply with 27 sets of regulations. The uk governments department of business has been worth around 6% higher income per capital in the uk.

Front 2

What are the individual benefits?

Back 2

Membership of the Eu gives all uk citizens the right to live, work, study and have their pension paid. Uk consumers have better protection with regard to product safety standards, roaming charges, safer food and better animal protection as a result of the uks membership of the eu

Front 3

What is pooled sovereignty?

Back 3

Being in the eu, Britain has given up certain national powers. But, the uk has gained a voice within one of the centres of global power. Britain carries a big weight in the eu. It is the third biggest economy and is the third most popular member of the club. It can project serious military force and has a permanent on the UN Security Council. Withdrawal from the eu would weaken try but also uks global count

Front 4

What is democratic deficit?

Back 4

Lack of democratic accountability within the EU is often a reason for withdrawal. But the role of the elected EU parliament has grown in recent years. But derision of the unelected council of ministers overlooks the point that this body is made upon ministers in elected governments of member states and is no more democratic than the British cabinet

Front 5

What about Norway and Switzerland?

Back 5

Advocates of withdrawal often claim that the economic benefits of membership above retained by following the swiss/Norwegian models. But the comparison is flawed. They are both smaller than London and both have valuable natural assets. Being outside the eu means paying to police the single market while having no input into important decisions about how it works
