Yes. And the EU negotiated with other countries on our behalf - with unbelievable bargaining power as the world’s premier trading block.
Now we’re a country of 70 million in a world of 7 billion trying to negotiate within a world dominated by bigger and more powerful nations and trading blocks.
We went from a big player in the biggest block to a medium player all alone.

As a smaller player, the UK can be more specialized and agile in its trade deals. Is that better than being in the EU? Only time will tell.
