After the Second World War the European Union was established in 1957, and it was consist of six countries (West Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Italy). Britain did not enter the E.U because of the special relationship with the USA. later on a lot of countries joined and they are now 25 member countries in the U.E. The population of it today is about 450 million people.
the European Union is running by the European Council, the European of Ministers, the European Parliament, and the European Court of Justice. The aim of the Union is to have freedom in movement, people, money and services. Today U.E member states account for 40 percent of the world trade.
A majority of voters would prefer the UK to be a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) than to be in the E.U.
71% of people said that Britain would be better if it a member of the trade group EFTA, But others which is 29% said that Britain should remain a member of the E.U.
EFTA would also would allow Britain to negotiate free trade agreements with countries outside the European Union, in addition, it would become gain a sovereign notion with more power over its domestic affairs.
Although Britain now is a member of the E.U and it enjoys the benefits  it brings, many Britons are living in Europe. British people do not participate widely in the elections for the European Parliament.
