The economic value of having colonies in the first place was for 3 main reasons
1) attain cheap labour from the native peoples
2) acquire cheap raw materials to bring to the homeland (Europe)
3) open up new markets to trade with
the first two were vital in Britains industrial revolution. Without cheap raw materials, and cheap labourers, the factories and refineries in Britain would have costed far more to maintain and keep supplied. This, in turn, would have slowed down production considerably. There is no doubt in my mind that the industrial revolution would still have taken place in Britain with or without the colonies, but WITH the colonies the process was sped up considerably.
Overall, cheap labour and raw materials attained through Britains colonial interests sped up the industrialisation of the UK.

One of the most controversial US presidential elections in modern times was the George W. Bush vs. Al Gore election of 2000.

The results of the election were so close in the state of Florida, that Al Gore's campaign asked for a hand recount of the ballots. That is when the Bush campaign appealed to the Florida Supreme Court’s decision to allow a hand recount. The court decision was to suspend the hand count of the ballots.
