the EU runs a surplus with the UK, so it has more to lose tradewise, its that simple.
The UK has a surplus of £55billion in Services with the EU, but these require
passporting- a UK based company but operating in the EU.
Its not 'Trade' that can continue without access to the Single Market (unlike, say manufacturing exports). So the UK will keep buying EU's manufactured goods and lose its Services 'exports' (£90bn) as UK companies will have to MOVE to the single market area.
I truly hope the new PM, May, sorts out the huge immigration problem
You can hope all you want. Never going to happen.
We will join the EEA.
The UK will pay more to the EU.
We will get a the same number of immigrants.
We will have NO say in making EU laws, we will have to implement them without complaint.
We will live in a weaker and less influential country
This is what you voted for, enjoy.
On the other hand we will control our fisheries and farming.. no more subsidies to farmers.
