other EU member states ● Europe is Britain's main trading partner ● Financial advantages outweigh the membership fees Britain has to pay ● Most economists are sceptical about Brexit and believe that Britain would lose her influence and suffer, both economically as well as politically ● Emulating the Norwegian or Swiss models would require new negotiating with former EU partners who would not want to encourage more countries to leave ● Britain's influence on financial markets might suffer as well as the City of London's reputation as Europe's biggest financial centre. International banks are already thinking of leaving London because the consequences of Brexit would be unpredictable and bankers hate insecurity Membership in the EU allows EU-citizens to move freely to GB and work there, and vice versa. - Hundreds of British expats living in Spain and France might not have easy access to health services there anymore. British farmers might lose out on subsidies, jobs in international companies might be moved and millions of British workers could lose their jobs ● ● ● ● The US prefer the UK to remain a strong member of Europe economically, politically and militarily. GB would lose influence and be an outsider in Europe, with fewer friends and very little chance of rejoining the EU. In a globalized world isolationism is simply not possible. Global challenges such as climate change affect all countries, and as an EU member, Britain has much more influence than as a middle-ranking country on the fringes On top of that, there are plenty of international treaties and laws GB is already subject to In this age of globalisation, economies and societies are becoming so interconnected and interdependent that the idea that GB could be completely autonomous and regain the "splendid isolation" it enjoyed when it still had its Empire, sounds phony.
