The costs though are to us and benefit the government as import duty will be paid by the importers, then put on the cost and then VAT is paid on top of all that.. So the governments benefit, the economy benefits but the general person in the street pays for it all.
It would be interesting to see if we could get any good deals from the worlds workforces and producers ..China, Russia, USA, India..etc and also whether the EU would try to block those deals..
There's so much as to which we can only guess at, some good and some bad which coupled with the things we don't need to guess at is why the stay campaign is currently leading but with the leave group not far behind..
I'm still middle of the road with an erring towards the stay side but will make my choice on what else comes to light between now and the referendum

One interesting viewpoint will be that by leaving the groups that Farage wants to keep out of the UK (mainly migrants from 3rd world countries) will have an even playing field for work as EU people will have to apply the same as them if we leave
