Three reasons why Britain wants to leave the European Union.

In the EU budget, Britain's contribution is about 1/8, second only to Germany and France. However, compared with Germany and France, they took advantage of their advantageous position in the euro zone and adopted differentiated interest rate policies in the euro zone, which gained huge economic benefits in manufacturing and service industries. On the contrary, because Britain is still outside the euro zone, it has not received benefits commensurate with its efforts. Today, the European Union, led by Germany and France, suddenly asked Britain to pay 2 billion euros back to the EU budget. 2 billion euros is not a small sum for Britain. If Cameron comes up with this money, it will greatly affect the election. Therefore, Cameron is so angry that he even has a vital interest in withdrawing from the EU referendum.

Second, the dispute over EU dominance:

The reason why the European Union, led by Germany and France, asked Britain to pay back 2 billion euros is that the so-called drunkard's intention is not wine, and the fundamental purpose is not the 2 billion euros. What's that for? Is to let Britain take on more responsibilities. By taking on more responsibilities, Britain is forced to give up the pound and use the euro to enter the euro zone, thus breaking the interests of Europe and the United States and focusing on the interests of the euro zone. In the eyes of the British, once Britain enters the euro zone, it is equivalent to handing over the dominance of its own destiny to others. There is a deep gap between the British and Germany, France and other countries in this respect, which comes from history, culture, religion and so on.

As we know, a unified Europe is a rational product of Europeans' pursuit of world unity for one or two thousand years, and Britain and France have been fighting for dominance for hundreds of years. The famous Hundred Years' War was fought between England and France. The two sides fought from 1337 to 1453 and 1 16. The subsequent Seven Years' War was a war between Britain and continental European countries for spheres of influence, and the United States of America was the product of the Seven Years' War.

Compared with mainland countries such as Germany and France, Britain is a marine colonial empire, which has long been outside the European continent. Britain has always been on high alert for the unification or domination of the European continent. The reason for vigilance is that once the European continent is integrated into a country, it will be difficult for Britain to have a voice in Europe. Britain is only a small island and it is only a matter of time before it is annexed. As an island country isolated from the mainland, Britain gained influence on Europe through the division of the European continent, and also gained self-protection through the division of the European continent.

In fact, the United States today is isolated from Eurasia, and it also dominates Eurasia by dividing the forces of various countries on Eurasia and adopting the strategies and tactics of the British Empire in the past. As descendants of the Anglo-Saxons, they come down in one continuous line.

Therefore, as Britain, it naturally does not want further integration of the European continent. In this respect, Britain is essentially different from France, Germany and other countries. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Britain joined the European Union, but kept the pound instead of joining the euro zone.

Now Germany and France want to shrink Britain's power step by step by making Britain bear greater responsibilities, and finally force Britain to join the euro zone, which has moved Britain's roots in political strategy. Faced with this situation, Britain is bound to rebound and try to stop it. This is also the fundamental reason why 2 billion euros should not have caused so much trouble, but it eventually caused such a big wave. If Britain readily agrees to repay the 2 billion euros, then the European Union, led by Germany and France, will take further action. From Britain's point of view, Britain is bound to prevent all this from further evolution.

Of course, from the point of view of Germany and France, Britain, as a permanent member of the Security Council and one of the three major European countries, will face great resistance if it refuses to join the euro zone and stand with the whole of Europe. In this case, there will be a so-called budget payment of 2 billion euros. This move led by France and Germany is to further strengthen the power of the European Union and further integrate the whole of Europe, which is exactly what Britain is unwilling to accept and the root of the conflict between the two sides.

Throughout the statements made by the leaders of Germany and France, French President Hollande warned Britain that this would harm Britain's core interests. Merkel's counterattack threat means that if Britain continues to prevent the EU from further integration, then Britain will withdraw. This game will be fierce in the next three years. 20 15 no matter which political party wins the general election in Britain, it will not change this pattern. Britain, France and Germany are bound to have a process of communication and compromise.

Third, the dispute over western dominance.

In the modern west, before World War I, Europe dominated the world. Although there was a long-term struggle between Britain and France and then between Britain, France and Germany, the dominance was in the hands of European powers for hundreds of years. In the 20th century, the contradictions among European powers finally intensified, which eventually led to World War I and World War II. After the two world wars, Europe was badly weakened, and the developed United States took the opportunity to take the lead.

Although the United States is a little uncomfortable for Europeans, after all, everyone is western, with similar values and basically the same interests in the world. Moreover, after World War II, Europe urgently needed the help of the United States to revive its economy. However, Europeans are fully aware that the fundamental reason for the change of ownership is internal friction, and it is completely unrealistic to unify Europe through war, which has been proved for thousands of years, not to mention the heavy losses of the two world wars have made the whole Europe no longer majestic. Therefore, after World War II, major countries in continental Europe quickly established the euro body (Britain joined later, 1973). 199 1 the European union was established and the euro was officially launched. 1 99965438+1October1,the euro was officially issued within the scope of EU member States, and the process of EU integration was accelerated.

In fact, since the 1970s and 1980s, there have been some differences between the United States and Europe in the dominance of the West, and this difference has obviously increased after the establishment of the European Union and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. In the past 20 years, the United States and Europe have struggled in this regard. 1999 NATO air strikes dismembered Yugoslavia, and one of the goals was to target the euro (ostensibly NATO's eastward expansion helped the EU's eastward expansion, but in fact it was also a war in which the United States tried its best to contain the birth of the euro), so the circulation of the euro was forced to be postponed to 1 in 2002, compared with 1999, and that issue was at discount's, which was later. More seriously, the Kosovo war has cast a serious shadow on the euro until today, which is another reason why it is difficult for the euro zone to further replace the dollar internationally.

After the global financial turmoil triggered by the US subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the strength of the United States declined sharply, and Europe accelerated its integration under this circumstance. Especially after the European debt crisis broke out, Germany and France took the opportunity to seize the power of the crisis countries more quickly, and the process of EU integration was obviously accelerated. The integration of the European Union has left the United States on pins and needles. This is because western capital will definitely choose a host, either the United States or Europe. If Europe is well integrated, then western capital may return to Europe completely because of the decline of the United States. If we really interpret it this way, the United States will lose the dominance of the West. To this end, the United States will inevitably undermine the process of further integration of the EU.

As far as the current international situation is concerned, from a global perspective, the United States is bound to divide countries in Eurasia, with the aim of maintaining its dominance over Eurasia and its future dominance over Eurasia; As far as the geopolitical situation in Europe is concerned, from the perspective of Britain, if Britain wants to maintain sufficient influence on Europe, it must further integrate the European continent. So in this respect, the British and American strategies are the same.

Moreover, in the world, in Europe, Britain maintains its influence largely because it is the "Smith" of the United States. It exerts its influence with the help of American power and takes a slice of the dominant rules of the United States. In this case, Britain played an intermediate role between the United States and Europe, and Britain has been suffering from both sides since World War II. At present, the European Union, headed by Germany and France, wants to take over the power of Britain and cut off Britain's "Smith" road to the United States, which is unacceptable to Britain.
