Like I said, beyond that it depends on whether you believe that 13bn is then "money down the drain" or if you believe that membership brings in more than 13bn in trade revenue / other areas, which it almost certainly does. There's no real chance that Brexit will save us money in instant cash terms.
Aternatively we can do our own trade deals - have the profits and the £13bn.
