    David Cameron should be sorting it all out now, not leaving it to someone else, then he could have left in 4 or 5 months with his head held high, knowing he's done a good job for his country, instead he's slinking off with his tail between his legs. Now we've got our Chancellor, George Osborne, and the governor of the bank of England, talking our economy down, just because they lost the referendum, and that causes uncertainty around the world. Then we've got the BBC only reporting all the bad stuff and none of the positive things we have a chance at achieving now, the BBC have been biased against us voting 'leave' all the way through the campaign.…

    Massive amounts of money and resources would be required to create the products and services that Britain would no longer be able to freely import from the EU; they would subsequently suffer from reduced efficiency and higher product cost and less attractive alternative products. Taking into consideration that 60% of British trade is with EU countries, and there are 700,000 British companies that frequently trade with other European countries across international borders, a disassociated Britain would be counterproductive to Britain’s economy and significantly increase the goods that have been become…

    The Alliance system enhances unity and togetherness as per the policies and terms agreed upon by two or more parties. It is a complicated situation for a citizen from none- World Power State in Europe such as Greece to make a long-serving alliance since most policies followed are administered by G3 and G4. European countries have undergone a lot of challenges to initiate equality in treaty making which includes the balance of power. The states were motivated to ensure the balance of power was established to prevent hegemony.

    Alas, despite the desire for some Europeans to create a United States of Europe, I do not believe this goal is feasible. European countries have unique histories and cultures that stretch back hundreds and even thousands of years. Competing cultures lead to conflict and eventually to war. Wars have occurred throughout European history, but not until the twentieth century did a war have the ability to totally reset the previous norms in Europe. The First World War infamously nicknamed “The War to end all Wars” occurred between 1914 and 1918.…

    In the chapter 9 “The Europe to come”, Perry Anderson talks about the “New Europe” that is emerging because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Treaty of Maastricht and the reunion of Germany. “For the first time since the war, Europe is living in anticipation of large but still imponderable changes to the part that has stood for the whole” (p. 126) However, in author’s view the end of communism was the main event that caused the others and it was supposed to change the whole concept of European Union. “The total population of candidates from East European countries is 130 million” “A completely new configuration would be at stake” (p. 127).…

    Firstly, The European Union requires fund to run and the countries like Germany, France and the UK pay high fees because of its financial status and the fact that UK is contributing more to the EU budget than they get out of it means UK was being overcharged for membership. Nobody likes to get overcharged. Secondly, most of the decisions taken by the EU is considered to be controlled by Germany and are in its favor. Besides that, the European Commission decided that Europe would open the door to migrants from the Middle East which Britain didn’t want. If we see it from the economic point of view the Brexit is not a right decision.…

    A report by the Centre for European Reform shows that the EU buys half of Britain’s exports, whereas the UK accounts for little over 10 percent of exports from the rest of the EU , so the UK would be in a weak position to leave the EU. The leave campaigners argue that Britain would have the power to negotiate its own trade deals with other non-EU countries, rather than relying on the European trade commissioner However, it would enter such negotiations as a country of 62 million people and not as a member of a 500 million-strong bloc . This idea is extremely important in the world of trading, since the EU has become the most powerful trading bloc in the world, with a GDP nearly as large as that of the US…
