What we need is decent negotiators.

Surely that means the remainder of the EU totals 380m with buying power equal to or greater than us? Obviously that figure includes us, 314m without.

Decent negotiators? We can’t even negotiate a few hundred million pounds worth of fishing rights without the ideology getting in the way.
