> the UK is globally important country > Their historical connections to the USA You are parroting brexiteers' talking points who think that it's still the end of the 19th century. Reality is, while UK has (had?) a large enough economy to put it in the 6th place globally, it's simply dwarfed by EU, US, and China. As for Commonwealth... The Commonwealth has the EU, the US and China as the actual important global players. BTW, India's GDP has surpassed the UK's. And you could see it during Brexit. The UK had to renegotiate trade deals with all the countries, and Commonwealth countries with which the UK has "historical ties" couldn't care less about these ties and the UK's looming deadlines. Speaking of India, there's still no trade deal with India. Meanwhile EU is India's third largest trade partner, after US and China. UK is... number 18. Truly global and important. And this continues across the board. Companies had no issues relocating from London to EU countries to continue friction-free operation in one of the world's largest markets. London might not be the great big city for long, when momentum carrying it forward subsides.
