This is another huge debating topic at the moment in the UK. UKIP are pushing the yes campaign and seem to be gathering quite a lot of momentum with their support. Labour and Conservatives are on the fence and are saying they will hold a referendum on the matter. The Liberal Democrats are very against withdrawing from the EU. I am personally against pulling out of the European Union. What do you guys think?
Should the UK withdraw from the EU?

I don't know what to think on a personal level, not living in England, but I think that in terms of global/international interdependency, it would be a bad thing. From my own very uninformed and casual understanding, the EU seems to be under a great deal of stress at the moment, what with the Dollar rising against the Euro and increasing the cost of importation of US products, so, to some, leaving the EU must look like leaving a sinking ship.
However, I think that Britain would not be capable of benefiting from the global economy, and maintaining the standard of living that it does now for its citizens, were it to leave the EU.

I am against anything that might hinder the UK from being able to have a better economy. If by pulling out of the EU would hinder it, then I am opposed.

The EU to me is flawed to me.
The European countries that bound by a single Europe Economy are at a disadvantage from the start.
The only way for it to work is if all of them has the same fiscal policy also.
The weaker economies will have better advantage in that they can increase their spending as they can loan more due to the power of the better economies.
However, their revenue will be the same and the the surplus in debt will be on the stronger economies and they have to help them cover the debt as they are in the same EU economy.
With the same fiscal policy, expenditure can be controlled by the EU. However, no government wants to give up their power.
My opinion is get out of the EU as soon as possible unless the countries can put their ego down and share a same fiscal policy.
The UK has has a strong enough economy to survive on itself.
Economic agreements with the EU would be better like Free Trade Agreements.
That's just my opinion.
