Oh, really? Here's the speech Michael Gove gave at the outset of the Vote Leave campaign: http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/michael_gove_the_facts_of_life_say_leave.html http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/michael_gove_the_facts_o...
The key quote:
"There is a free trade zone stretching from Iceland to Turkey that all European nations have access to, regardless of whether they are in or out of the euro or EU. After we vote to leave we will stay in this zone. The suggestion that Bosnia, Serbia, Albania and the Ukraine would stay part of this free trade area - and Britain would be on the outside with just Belarus - is as credible as Jean-Claude Juncker joining UKIP."
So here you have one of the two most senior politicians in the Vote Leave campaign, in a flagship speech, saying that after we vote to leave we will continue to enjoy free trade with Europe. Not WTO rules, not even a negotiated deal. He says we'll just "stay in this zone" as if it was a default.
