The Importance Of Britain's Decision To Leave The European Union

Improved Essays
By deciding to leave the European Union, Britain was definitely affected in all aspects including political, economic, and cultural relationships. The European Union is made of 28 independent countries and creates an economic and political union. The European Union allows free movement of goods, capital, services, and people between the nations. Since people can transport freely, that leads to many new cultures assimilating to other countries to create the “melting pot”. Culture plays a specific role in representing activities, promoting heritage, and creating mutual understandings. I think it is important that we have multicultural societies because it allows people to connect with others who share the same mindset and values. Not all people …show more content…
Many believed by leaving the European Union that Britain would turn into a catastrophe. Higher taxes, more austerity, and a loss of jobs were all expected after leaving the European Union. With Britain having to cut trade deals, they would have to use tariffs, which led to the price drop in the pound. This in turn would lead to a price drop in homes, which many would appreciate. Another benefit for Britain would be that the Bank of England considering raising the interest rate due to inflation. Although it would be more expensive to pay loans and mortgages, people that save would highly appreciate the interest raise. Another complaint from Britain was that they were being charged billion of pounds for memberships fees and were getting very little back. Basically, the initial step of leaving would hurt the economy for Britain, but as more time passes the economy will make …show more content…
By Britain leaving, it represented confidence in the principle of national self-determination and proved reform was possible. Many people believed that they were just showing there nativism by looking out of the country because of the large amount of terrorist attacks, but others defined it as racism because they wanted to deny people access based on their appearance or religion. I believe the United States does need a way to better track the terrorists so that all these attacks are not happening, but I don’t think that means all people of different cultures should be banned from the United States. Not all people are bad, but we do need to be on the lookout so that the United States can be as safe as possible for

    In addition to this, public confidence will deteriorate which will also lead to a reduction in AD. With consumers having less confidence, they will be less likely to invest and more likely to save as they will feel as if the economy is unstable and heading towards a recession.

    I think that, at the time, the colonists were not wise to declare independence from Great Britain for three reasons: the colonist’s militia would not have stood a chance against the British army, the economy of the colonies was just fine, and a war could have been prevented. At the time, the colonists militia was meagre and notwithstanding. As we know, Great Britain was the most powerful country in the entire world at that time in terms of political, economic, and militaristic power. If the colonies were to remove themselves from an alliance with this kind of power, they would have no chance. The colonists took a chance and got lucky with their choice.…

    In 1988 Margaret Thatcher, the British prime minister, gave a speech reacting to the Single European Act in which she said, “To try to suppress nationhood and concentrate power at the centre of a European conglomerate would be highly damaging and would jeopardize the objectives we seek to achieve.” (Doc 4) In this document, the point of view is important because the reason Britain is resisting European unity so much is because they have a lot to lose if they do. Britain has great relations with America, and if they were to be fully unified with Europe then they might have to give up some of those trading options, which they don’t want to do. In addition, Britain is for the most part economically stable and is a very strong, wealthy nation on its own, therefor doesn’t have much incentive to join in with the other European countries.…

    Scottish nationalism in its entire existence has come as quite the surprise to various English people and even some Scots. There is a general satisfaction with the Scottish-British Identity. Nevertheless, this dual-identity has become weaker. There are the typical explanations for this decline of communal feeling.

    The American Revolution grew out of contempt for British policies regarding their American colonies. In this shared contempt as the eve of revolution drew near the colonists developed a sense of identity and unity. Edmund Burke wrote, in his notes to Parliament, questions as to whether small unrepresented towns in Britain could be compared to the vast, and ever expanding American colonies. In his work he argued that any comparison between the two were stark and that they should be allowed to take their image of the British Constitution overseas. His description of representation and the differences between towns in Britain and the new world clearly demonstrate the new identity being formed in the American Colonies.…

    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.…
