re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
The EU will continue to trade with us whether we're in or out. Something the stay-inners are keen to forget in their scaremongering.
Also the total trade figure attributable to the EU also includes the "Rotterdam Effect" so the actual trade figures are lower than that.
Quote:
“Britain’s trade is overwhelmingly internal, actually. The split is roughly this: 79% internal, 10% EU, 11% the rest of the world.”
Ignore the percentages, which were not intended to be overly accurate – this complaint does have some validity. It can’t be denied that the vast majority of business transactions that UK companies and producers deal with are with other UK-based companies and producers, not with foreign partners.
