Should the UK leave the EU?:

Recently the United Kingdoms has called for a referendum regarding its membership in the European Union. The referendum of which was legalized under the "European Union Referendum Act 2015", will allow for UK citizens to vote on whether or not the UK should leave the EU. Many politicians within the EU and UK parliaments have said that leaving the EU could cause for drastic economic consequences as well as the UK possibly losing its "border" in Calais. However most of these claims would most likely not be enacted for countries such as Switzerland, San Marino, Norway, Monaco, and many others of which the EU still frequently trades with, and of which the EU respects, and has treaties with. Therefore the only consequences of the UK leaving the EU is that the UK will escape an undemocratic authoritarian union, in which their member states are oppressed and forced to comply to the laws given to them. Also if the UK leaves the EU then the UK will once again have access to its offshore fishing areas, of which the EU confiscated and split off to other countries such as Belgium, Netherlands, and many others. Overall the UK has much to benefit from leaving the EU and not much to lose.
