- Britain's is the fifth largest economy in the world; we are a major trading nation.
- Outside the EU, those countries which have signed trade deals with the EU would certainly want to continue mutually beneficial trading arrangements with the UK. They would have a great incentive to quickly agree to a continuation of trade on the same, or very similar, terms.
- When Britain regains its seat on the WTO and control of its own international trade policy, we could also no doubt negotiate better trade deals for ourselves - as we did for hundreds of years before we joined the EU.
