The UK may find itself escaping from the influence of
Brussels but having to jump to Washingtons orders.

Just because the Yanks speak English doesn't automatically
mean they are friendly , they always look after their interests
first and don't worry who they trample over on the way.

And just imagine if Trump gets in.

It is perfectly natural for every country to want the very best deal it
can get.

And they can agree that completely free trade is the best
deal for everyone. That was what the EEC was about.

Hence very long winded bargaining to reach a suitable compromise.

There is no compromise when they agree to completely free trade.

And the UK now having much less bargaining power than the EU.

But doesn’t have 27 other countries with a veto on what is agreed.
