They joined what was then called the EEC in 1973. It would be up to the British people to decide if they want to leave it. All EU countries would have some people in them that would not want to be in the EU, but it has been beneficial for most countries and so the majority of people and the governments in those countries want to stay as members.

"The subcontinent" is India and Pakistan. The British left there in 1948. Should you mean Britain's exit from the European Union, the answer is that the exit has a firm base in Britain's deep-rooted reluctance to hand over its sovereignty to the EU's civil servants in Brussels. But from a purely economic perspective Britain's exit may not be a good idea, as the EU will very probably flatly refuse to allow Britain easy access to the European market while Britain in turn might block free traffic of goods, persons and services from EU into the UK. So the exit will probably in the long term hurt the UK's economic development.
