The biggest markets are the EU and the US. They cut themselves off from the EU and it’s unlikely that the US Congress will ratify free trade agreements anytime soon.

But the UK is now free to strike trade deals with individual countries in Africa and Asia. These trade deals will create a much bigger uproar because it involves countries that pay low wages, polute the environment, etc. More Brits will lose jobs.

The EU runs a huge trade surplus with the UK. It is in their benefit to continue trade deals with the UK and EU businesses have already said this. Noe if the EU wants to cut their nose off to spite their face, that will be their problem. The UK will do great wiybout the shackles of Brussels. The rest of the EU countries, not so much.

So i am not sure if you are clueless or just trolling. Im guessing both.

“...and it’s unlikely that the US Congress will ratify free trade agreements anytime soon.”

I agree that Obama/Hillary will want to PUNISH the UK for the vote, but I think you underestimate Trump’s respect for them - he’ll work with them.

So we’ll know in November.

Brits weren't gaining any jobs because of the limitations placed by EU regs and organization. Any hue and cry leftists over how they can't trade with a dirty country will be drowned out by opportunities for Labour in an expanding workforce.
