Leaving the EU because of higher growth in the East makes as much sense as Emgland Wales or Scotland leaving the UK because of higher growth from the East, ie no sense whatsoever.
Note: based on trade data the UK is shrinking far faster than the EU. Oops!
Arron, as always, pretends that one can't do both. Be close to close markets and also trade to far away markets. Plenty of other European countries do it well.
It's a crap political move that in no way helps UK business. It instead makes life harder for businesses (and people).
Brexit in this sense is a strong and long lasting kick by political classes against the British economy, with no expectation of improvement, or desire to acknowledge such.
Given up on the Angloshere then? West, North, South try them all our natural, sustainable trading partners are to the very near East. You jog along to Thailand and China, for now. Moscow beckons.
