Matt,
You make same presumptive mistake that Boris has made - "the EU needs us". What bollocks, it simply doesn't. On what do you base this argument? Lidl and Aldi will be upset or VW Merc and BM wont be able to sell us their cars? Why not? It will make no difference to them unless we start adding import taxes and then the fun will really start. Do you honestly believe the EU will collapse or will allow us free trade without strings - and a lot of them?
We will still end up paying money into the EU for a trade agreement and still end up with free movement of people. So what exactly has the out vote won? Sorry I forgot, "our sovereignty".
Just because we think we are important doesn't mean the rest of the world thinks the same. America are now saying No Investment in the UK or Europe. Its a simple fact that USA and countries like China and Germany control world markets. We don't matter, we are insignificant, we are no longer a world power. The world will carry on without us. As part of the EU at least we had a voice even if it wasn't always heard. Sometimes it was when we made sense. Who is going to listen know?
