We are closely tied to the EU economically whether we like it or not and short of committing economic suicide disentangling ourselves from it will take decades.
Yes we are and financially speaking the world is a tiny place and we have close financial ties with lots of countries and i don't think decades of being the biggest financial centre in the world is going to come to an end just because we are no longer in the single market after all the institutions set up here for a reason ,they preferred the UK to France or Germany for whatever reason and it wasn't the single market
