Free trade in the EU. (but there are other trade blocks)
Free borders with EU countries

The UK was a founding member of the EU.
EU Referendum Campaign - UK - was created in 2010.
The UK is part of the EU.
The UK is an EU Member State. The EU Law is therefore binding.
All of the UK is a member of the EU
You can use an EU driving licence in the UK until it expires.
yes it was one of the first countries to go in the eu
the impact that the UK public services has on the eu is that chuck Norris is their leader to world domination
Effectively much legislation now comes via the EU - as EU laws should apply to all member states. The UK has some exemptions. Our passport system is not the same as all of the EU and we have not yet adopted the Euro as a currency. EU legislation allows all EU citizens free travel throughout the EU. On a side note many in the UK want to leave the EU and consider it a pain in the neck!
When media is hostile, public opinion is. The EU is hostile to the UK because the UK almost pulled out of the EU a year or so back.
Enormously! Many trade deals the EU have made include the UK. As and when the UK leaves the EU most of these will have to be re-negotiated, not only with the UK, but in many cases, with the EU. This can take many years to finalise. In addition teh Uk currently is the largest importer of EU country products and services. The UKs leaving will leave a massive trade and financial trade hole in the economy . Between 1999 and 2014, goods imported by the UK from the EU have risen by 4.9% per year on average, compared to exports which have risen by 2.5% per year, causing the UK's trade in goods deficit with the EU to rise to £77.0 billion. The UKs leaving is therefore going to be felt across the EU if a trade agreement is not tabled and accepted by the UK before Article 50 is effected.
