This probably won’t happen, but even if it did, it would be hard to think of a big international issue where U.K. wouldn’t have stronger position to act from within EU. twitter.com/danielkorski/s…
You can imagine some small issues where UK could strike an interesting and different position but again what is the counterfactual? UK has left a big alliance of friendly similar countries. Hard to argue that the country is not diminished.
It is the equivalent of “trade with China”. Yes, but we already could, and others in the EU already do. Brexit is not a solution to anything other than a moral panic on immigration and the sovereignty fetishism of some MPs. And possibly not even that.
