The European Union began due to an agreement for peace in a war ton and divided continent. Furthermore, 5 years after World War 2 ended, France and Germany decided to ensure that the two countries would never go to ar against eachother again and this was aagree by a deal signed by 6 nations to pool their coal and steel resources in 1950. In addition, 7 years later, the European Economic Community treaty was signed in Rome and is the foundations of todays European Union. Also, the EU now has 28 member states including the UK.
Moreover, leaving the EU would have a great affect on where sovereignty lies in the UK. This is because of the way new laws could easily be passed without them being repealed by the European Union. An example of this is when the fishing law was removed by the EU which allowed countries to fish in native waters.
Furthermore, if the UK left the EU, parliament would gain more power, due to it holding the most power within the UK. This could be a negative to leaving the EU because if parliament is sovereign, then there will be no higher body of power meaning that parliament could do what they want. This could effectively lead to a dictatorship organisation due to there being no boundaries or higher body to control certain actions.
In conclusion, the EU has a lot of power over the UK and certain decisions which can be made. Therefore, if the decision was to leave, then this could come with great consequences to the UK due to Parliament having overall sovereignty and therefore being able to do whatever they want.
