You’re replying with a discussion of sovereignty in response to a parent that’s discussing trade deals. Braxit was generally sold on two main pillars: sovereignty and making vastly better trade deals. Sure, there are sovereignty issues that make sense to drive Brexit, but it is the second pillar that never made sense. The U.K. is not a very large country by itself (no longer a global empire) so it is puzzling at best to think that the rest of the world is dying to give it amazing trade deals. The U.K. has friends who would be happy to trade with it, but a market 1/10th the size of the EU is unlikely to get many trade deals that are better than the EU.
