What proportion of global GDP is Switzerland? Certainly much less than the UK. And yet Switzerland has a trade deal with China, something the EU hasn’t. In fact the EU has been poor at negotiating trade deals because it has to take into account 28 countries who may have very different interests. A sovereign country like the UK would not have that problem. If we ever do end up leaving the EU and it’s customs union I reckon we will have the flexibility to sign much more deals than the EU.
