OUT the Union

I don't think they want them out of the Union, however they would probably want more cooperation from the UK in the following fields:

(1) Acceptance of the Euro: By dropping the pound and accepting the Euro, British products sold in the EU will be cheaper to purchase and help the Euro jump up in value.

(2) Borders: The EU wants the UK and Ireland to allow one central body to regulate immigration and customs. These are the only two nations that have not express interest in joining the Schengen Zone. Many non-EU members such as Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland have already joined or will join but since the UK and Ireland have an agreement regarding travel between both countries, they don't want to surrender their sovereignity to the EU when it comes to who enters and lives in their nation.

(3) Solid EU foreign policy: The EU views the UK as a puppet of the U.S. and therefore sees that nation as uncooperative in standing up against U.S. interests. Hence, the Iraq War was a product of U.K.-U.S. cooperation.

I think the UK benefits by being a EU member in the sense that Britons can reside and work in an EU state without permits or visas. Spain is the #1 destination for British emigrants in the world, followed by Austalia.

Are you sure about that? I think that Britain dislikes the EU and want to get out of it...
