No, the UK will not leave the European Union, at least not any time soon.
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!

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.
The UK was a founding member of the EU.
Yes they can but they wouldn't have the concessions that they currently enjoy and they would have to use the Euro as their currency.
none
No, that would not be an issue arising from this.
In theory, EU law overrides UK law. However, it is up to each constituent country to implement and enforce the laws. Should a nation not agree with the EU law, they can choose not to enforce it but they will get in hot water with the EU. A good example of this in the UK is parliament's refusal to give prisoners the right to vote.
Its considered that leaving will allow the UK to control its borders and set immigration levels to manageable volumes . That it can create its own laws that are enforceable and not restricted by the EU law makers and where it can seek trade with other countries without the Eu s' permission being sought
