You mean walking away from and souring our relationship with the largest trading bloc in the world just as two major powers are gearing up to fight a massive economic fight for supremacy is a bad idea (not to mention all the others). I wish someone had put that on the side of the bus, maybe then my compatriots would have believed it. It's just a shame that "While the EU is not perfect and probably does need some reform, it is on balance a net positive for the UK and not anywhere near as bad as the press would have you believe" also didn't fit on a bus.

The best chance of reforming EU would be with UK still in it :-( Brexit is just a loose for everyone. Well except Russia of course.

To an extent- but in reality I would be shocked if the US wasn’t willing to offer a pretty full fat free trade agreement to a post hard-brexit UK.

  Of course they are, but on their terms since the UK is by far the weaker in that relationship. Which means open access for their products into the UK market without out many of the consumer protections that the EU mandates.
