The ones that pay the highest contributions to the EU is actually Germany.

The UK doesn't really suffer though, because in return for our contribution, we get to also spend money the other wealthy members put forward as well. The problem comes with how less wealthy nations have little to contribute which makes managing the entire thing a nightmare without more central power, but the UK doesn't get as much backlash from that.

Plus the EU also is our largest trading partner in the region. So it's not easy saying what would be equal return in this case.

Leave would be a worse option because of how unpredictable all the factors leading forward. Our government heads can't seem to decide how we should be conducting trade with the EU after we supposedly leave for starts.
