Reasons for leaving and remaining in the EU

Reasons to leave the EU

Border control back in our hands The flip side of the freedom of work and travel for UK citizens is that people from other EU countries are free to travel to and live in Britain.

Freedom to save the NHS from EU threats to undermine it by harmonising healthcare across the EU, and to reduce welfare payments to non-UK EU citizens.

Freedom to make stronger trade deals with other nations.

Freedom to improve the British economy and generate more jobs.

Reasons to stay in the EU

Around 3.5 million British jobs are directly linked to British membership of the European Union’s single market – 1 in 10 British jobs.

The EU negotiates trade agreements with the rest of the world. Outside the EU Britain would have to renegotiate trade deals alone. While the EU is the world’s largest market

Freedom to work and study abroad and easy travel

I believe we should stay in the EU as it would be better for the UK as it would be better for a lot of people, for example the freedom to work and study abroad. 1.4 million British people live abroad in the EU. More than 14,500 UK students took part in the European Union’s Erasmus student exchange scheme in 2012-13. Driving licences issued in the UK are valid throughout the EU. You would be able to get a car in another EU country and with many people living abroad its easy for people to find jobs
