But we are now, and quoting the head of the WTO:

World Trade Organisation boss, Roberto Azevedo, said Britain would be forced to renegotiate trade deals with all 161 WTO members in an unprecedented move that would be akin to joining from scratch. The impact of new tariffs in overseas markets would also be a burden for UK businesses, adding a further £5.5bn to the costs of trade, he said.
“The consumer in the UK will have to pay those duties,” Azevedo said. “The UK is not in a position to decide ‘I’m not charging duties here’. That is impossible. That is illegal.”

WTO telling us what to do. Violating our sovereignty. We'd best have a referendum on leaving it.
