With that in mind;
Do you honestly believe that the bigger pro-EU governments will make it easy for the UK to set up any way decent trade deals?
Honestly?

Now we have Brexited - WE are in the BIG chair, and the EU is in the LITTLE chair, and they will jump through OUR hoops to continue trading with us - the deals may be thrashed out behind closed doors, as with so much of the corrupt twots dealings - but they WILL jump through our hoops.
The reasons why I say this are:
The EU’s share of global GDP fell from 30% in 1993 to 24% in 2013 and is STILL plummeting.
The UK has suffered a negative Trade Balance with The EU for decades, and it is increasing - in April of 2016, our trade deficit with the EU was Ł16 BILLION pounds - FOR THE MONTH.
We BOUGHT Ł16 BILLION POUNDS OF GOODS MORE FROM THE EU, THAN WE SOLD TO THEM - IN ONE MONTH.
With an ever increasingly plummeting share of Global GDP the crumbing EU is DESPERATE for trade, so the very notion that they will 'put barriers' in our way and deprive themselves of Ł20 BILLION POUNDS per month trade surplus is banal.
And for those who have been seduced by the propaganda and lies that the UK was economically stronger in the EU, bear in mind that we have been in the EU for over 40 years, then read this tiny snippet from Ed Conway, Economics Editor of Sky News:
"The worst goods trade deficit in more than three centuries"
"Last year Britain recorded its biggest deficit in goods trade since records began.*
Those records technically go all the way back to 1697, though getting hold of the data is rather tricky. The ONS only has numbers going back to 1998, on a comparable basis,
while HM Revenue & Customs supposedly has the 300-year series of data, but, when I spoke to them earlier today, weren’t exactly sure where one can lay one’s hands on it."
THE WORST TRADE FIGURES FOR 300 YEARS! And note the difficulty in actually obtaining information from HMRC.
So much for any argument that we are 'economically better off in', and for any belief that the crumbling corrupt EU will salve their wounded pride by making it more difficult to trade with us - as I have said on here for a year - WE DO NOT NEED THE EU, THEY NEED US.
As you will witness.
