Why the UK? It’s a single market against the whole of the EU, the US and China. It’s size is not really relevant.

JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 months agoDon’t know who you mean by ‘us regulars’, but normal people don’t have the power, the guts is irrelevant. Only a few countries or organisations have that: The EU, USA, UK, China, and maybe a few others I have missed. The others besides the EU in that list don’t have the ‘guts’, as you put it, but the rest don’t have the power, even if they wanted to.

Maybe it’s just my UK-centricity, but it seems to me that the UK does have quite a large effect on various markets. Of course, the effect was strongest when it was still part of the EU, but it still has 70m people, a non insignificant number, as well as historical ties.
