1) No freedom of movement, no access to single market.......Switzerland have been told, we've been told...
2) We'll pay the same huge tariffs as well as the other countries then

So much for experts. |
The data is updated twice yearly, the last prior to the referendum. Since then however,
'After the referendum in June 2016 when voters decided to leave the European Union, economic prospects for the UK are highly uncertain, and the UK and France may very well swap places. The country will operate under EU regulations and trade agreements for two years after the formal announcement of an exit to the European Council, in which time officials will work on a new trade agreement. Economists have estimated that a Brexit could result in a loss of anywhere from 2.2-9.5% of GDP, depending on the trade agreements replacing the current EU regulations.'

Let's also not pretend we have left some luxurious utopian dream club the risks of staying in the EU were significant and the structure of the EU was not exactly the pinnacle of stability.
