BREXIT: Will Leaving the European Union Benefit the United Kingdom?
SUPPORTERS ARGUE
The European Union is a bloated, undemocratic organization corrosive to national sovereignty. Brexit will allow the United Kingdom to boost its economic competitiveness, reassert control over its borders, and free itself of burdensome regulations.
OPPONENTS ARGUE
Membership in the European Union (E.U.) has been a boon to the United Kingdom, and leaving will damage its economy and diminish its standing on the world stage. The campaign to leave the E.U. was built on xenophobia and lies, and the United Kingdom should hold a second referendum.
