Use logic stolly.

You manage to disprove your own point.

Canada is not in the US but manages to export to it, we don’t need to be in the EU to export to that either.
Eu laments it’s inability under WTO to keep Chinese goods out!

Our balance of trade and balance of growth show the tide turning towards rest of the world. Eu is declining.

We are not in the US either, but manage to export more financial services there than EU

I’ve exported all round the world. EU made it harder not easier because externally it is a protection zone, not a free trade area.

Australia are also having ever increasing dealings with the south east Asia trade block and also depend massively on the continued expansion of China and other countries in that neck of the woods. And Canada exports 75% of everything it exports to the USA, its biggest (obviously by far) and guess what nearest trading partner ��
