Besides the monetary amount the United Kingdom will save from no longer paying out membership fees and immigration benefits, leaving the European Union would allow for the UK to set up favorable independent trade negotiations with other nations. As an independent state, Britain would gain influence over the rest of the world by gaining back their independent “seat” on international affairs discussions that the EU had taken away.
