  1. Many countries in the EU do not have a trade surplus with us and they all have to vote Yes for a deal to be done
  2. If Britain gets a better deal out of the EU than inside it then everybody will be doing it
  3. Dublin, Berlin and Paris will all be looking to steal some of our services sector

We have full access to the single market at the moment. That will probably be restricted and that alone can hit the economy.

Siemens and BMW have also said that the single market helps their sectors: http://eandt.theiet.org/news/2016/ma...nst-brexit.cfm
What we lose in trade with the EU can more than likely be made up in trade with non-EU Countries. Though your argument is fair it is not a reason for anyone to change their vote.
