The UK applied for membership to the European Union on August 10, 1961, but later cancelled. They applied a second time on May 10, 1967 and was granted admission on January 1, 1973. The UK was asked to be a founding member of the EU, but refused.
The EU is just the European Union. Any countries of Europe can apply to receive EU membership if they qualify. The EU (or Euro) zone is the collection of member countries which share the currency the Euro. The Euro is now compulsory for all EU members, except the UK and Denmark which have opted out but may join in the future.
Brits came to dislike their membership in the European Union due to concerns over national sovereignty, perceived bureaucratic overreach, and immigration issues. Many felt that EU regulations limited the UK's ability to make its own laws and control its borders. Economic factors, including the belief that EU membership was financially burdensome, also fueled discontent. These sentiments culminated in the 2016 Brexit referendum, where a majority voted to leave the EU.

European Union law can significantly influence English law, particularly in areas where EU regulations and directives were applicable during the UK's membership. Although the UK formally left the EU in January 2020, certain EU laws were retained in UK law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, which means they still have an effect unless explicitly amended or repealed. Additionally, English courts may refer to EU case law for guidance in interpreting retained EU law, maintaining some alignment with EU standards. However, the extent of this influence has diminished since Brexit, as the UK now has the autonomy to diverge from EU legislation.
