The UK should leave the EU for it's own benefit

Firstly I want to extend my warm thanks to my opponent for a fantastic debate. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am sure we can both learn something from this debate. In this round I will rebut the rebuttals offered by my opponent and conclude my case why I think the UK would be better out the EU than in. In their previous round, my opponent has made a few claims that I can agree with, as I have in fact stated them myself, as such there is a lot of common ground we agree on. The parts we do not agree on is what makes this debate so stimulating as it seems that its a matter of opinion, when in fact there are solid financial, political and self identity issues that are being presented. Financial Aspects. My opponent and I disagree strongly on what the financial implications of the UK leaving the EU will be. I am of the opinion that leaving the EU will be a benefit to the UK for the reasons presented in previous rounds. While my opponent is right to point out that I do point fingers at the Russian example of sanctions. I think it is a valid argument as Crimea did vote to leave the Ukraine and become part of Russia. To try blame everything squarely on Russia for that is absurd. I will however add that since that initial vote in the Crimea there have been dubious dealings by all parties. But, we should realize these sanctions were put in place due to the Crimea succession. So, yes my opponent is right the EU is a democracy but this democracy can be swung by an emotional plea. Just look how the world got swayed by George W Bush to invade Iraq for weapons of mass destruction that were never found. My opponent also points out that multiple of my arguments hinge on the fact that the UK must be accepted into the EEA to not lose out on the huge European market. My opponent is correct in this assumption, but as I have shown in my earlier rebuttals Britain is the sixth largest economy in the world and the EU will not want to lose such a powerful trading partner. There is absolutely no way the EU will dump the UK if it leaves, that would be financial suicide. In fact my opponent even agrees with me that the UK will probably be part of the EEA. Now while they will have to abide by certain regulations they can also renegotiate if they don't like the regulations. This is the case with any trade agreement, so this point is really invalid. Regarding the jobs I am on board with my opponent. Its like I said in previous rounds it is a big probability that the UK (if the leave the EU) will in fact still employ foreign workers as they will be needed. Other Benefits and final statements. By withdrawing (and perhaps some internal restructuring) the UK will pay less on welfare while still offering a high quality of life to its citizens and migrant labors with their very reasonable minimum wage. The benefits look good for the UK and in fact the benefits look good for the EU as well. There is no logical reason financially (or other) why Britain should not get out of the EU. With its power in the world economy it will be in a far better place than having to worry about an economy that rests on all member states. Remember, as I stated before the UK still uses the Pound Sterling and not the Euro. The reason for this is that the UK is a stronger economy. Additionally, visa issues for holidays abroad will not be a problem for Britons as they currently don't have problems and that will not change. Also as I have pointed out above, tax duties for imports are determined by the country so even if they are not part of the EU will they need to pay import tax? Its not the EU that is going to decide that but the UK government. The UK is a special country, even within the current EU. It was a world super power and its still retains a lot of that power in the financial markets and politically. There is no reason for a great country to stand in the shadows of its peers. This is especially true when its peers (the EU) are not going to turn their back on Britain as there is no reason financially or other for this to happen. Essentially, the UK leaving the EU is a win win situation. The EU wins and the UK wins, however by staying within the EU the UK loses while the EU wins. I now hand the debate back to my opponent for the final time.
