Re: The world is a different place
I've given you an upvote, as you've made a very good point. In the past the trade tariffs were higher, and joining a free trade bloc was more attractive as a result.
The counter is that brexit isn't about whether we do better or worse than other countries outside the EU, but whether we will do better outside the EU than we would have done by staying in. That's a far harder question to answer, expecially as all the referendum campaign gave us was scaremongering on the one side and anti-intellectual bullshit on the other.
