Why does Britain want to leave the European Union?

Britain wants to leave the EU for three reasons.

The first is to reduce the budget pressure. As a multinational consortium, the total operating cost of the EU is shared according to the economic situation of each country. In 20 14, the institutional cost of various EU institutions such as the European Commission and the European Parliament was about 1000 billion euros, accounting for 0.5% of the British national income. The rising budget cost is one of the driving forces for Britain to leave the EU.

The second is to avoid further diluting the social welfare of its citizens because of the increase of immigrants from EU countries. The quality of social welfare in Britain, such as medical care, education and environmental resources, is much higher than the average level of EU countries. The influx of immigrants from other EU countries has eroded the social welfare treatment of British citizens. From 20 12 to 20 14, the annual net inflow of British immigrants increased from170,000 to 3130,000, and the increasing scale of immigrants also increased Britain's withdrawal from the EU.

Third, Britain's resistance to EU financial integration is also an important reason for its withdrawal. The European debt crisis in 2009 exposed the difficulties and limitations of the one-legged EU on the road of integration, and financial integration became the focus of the EU in the next stage. Realizing financial integration among the 28 countries with obvious disparity between the rich and the poor is tantamount to creating a transnational pot of rice and realizing social welfare "equality between the rich and the poor" within European countries, which is absolutely beyond the income of developed countries like Britain, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
