That was not a true reflection of what we pay, for access to a single market of the largest trading bloc in the world. So now we have to arrange our own trade deals, lose access to the single market and central regulatory alignment. It is possible our standards such as food etc will go down and our major industries will not be protected by tariffs.
Our EU contribution is something like 0.3% of our GDP? Its a drop in the ocean compared to the benefits we receive.
