Should Great Britain leave the EU?

I don't blame them. Here in Denmark people are getting sick and tired of all the EU and their "one nation law". Each country is individual. Denmark has again instituted their borders and pass ports are check when crossing. Danes are getting tired of being ruled from some place else.

I haven't the foggiest notion as to what Great Britain should do. Given the fact that I rarely vote with the majority it seems I don't have much of a notion of what my own nation should do. I suspect many, maybe most British citizens are a lot like me. Thus, expect that a lot of darts will be thrown at boards in pubs until a decision is reached. I only wish we had pubs in America so we could decide weighty matters so wisely.

As it stands, I think the UK offers more to the EU than the EU offers to the UK. It is not a "mutually beneficial" arrangement.

As such, why would they want to continue their relationship under such terms?

It is true that their presence offers stability to Europe, just like our presence within the Middle East, East Asia, etc offers stability to the World though. However, is European Stability one of their stated goals? We have weighed the options and determined we want global stability so we maintain a presence, even though it has the potential to threaten the US.

Yes, they should! For no other reason than to piss off the EU bureaucrats who have already spent their (the UK's) money for the next ten plus years. FYI: Over 10,000 EU employees have a higher annual salary than the Prime Minister of England.

We should find out later today or tomorrow Obama says that Great Britain should stay but England thinks he should have butted out of their politics.

A foreign leader has no business coming into London and telling the people what to do.

They should fill their moats with burning oil and break out the pikes!

They need to make a decision based on what works best for them. If they are not benefiting from the relationship, then there is no reason to continue. It is not like they will not still have close ties to Continental Europe.

The EU cannot work long term with multiple governments and a single currency. The cracks are already showing with Germany being expected to bail out the less functional countries. Eventually the EU will pull everybody down; the UK should get out while they can.

It depends on what GB collectively wants. If they want some smushed together Euro future with Germany pretty much calling the shots, then stay in. If they want to be independent of all that stuff, leave. However, they can't go back to pre Euro days as that would mean kicking out about 90% of all the immigrants that came in the past 30 years. Don't see that happening. The problem will be how it will re-establish its fishing zones and enforce them along with all the other problems with Euro encroachment that will occur because Merkel will want to penalize them for leaving.

I think the Euro should be broken up overall. They are still fighting WW2. You see it everywhere in the Scandinavian countries in how Germans and they treat each other. We have to have separate soccer referee meetings at our international tournaments because groups still refuse to sit with each other. I believe the EU was formed as a means to compare with the US as an economic power. Problem is up to recently we assimilate immigrants, the EU shuns them. Hard to be one diverse entity when there continues to be so many factions who won't get along, hence cannot form that economic powerhouse.

As a dual American/Brit I am very torn. My wife is French and I think the EU is best, but a part also wants Brussels to have no voice in the UK
