So true.

In the minds of some of the most passionate Brexiters, the economic case for leaving the EU is less important than the prospect of the UK asserting its sovereignty. This is the promised land, which will flow with the milk and honey produced by stout British cows and industrious British bees.
They celebrate the idea that the UK will be able to negotiate new trade deals by itself — even though it already trades extensively with all the major economies as a member of the EU. But this fancy is blind to the truth that any new deals will place the country at a disadvantage and will, through provisions on “no-tariff barriers”, mean Britain will be surrendering control on domestic policy.
