There’s no need to exaggerate the economic strength of the EU. Various economic models have it as the largest or second largest economy in the world (alongside the USA and China depending on what measure you like).
The idea that the UK will have a strong relative negotiating position simply doesn’t represent reality in any meaningful way.
All economies have areas of relative wealth and poverty to some degree. Writing off 120m of the population of the EU on that basis is disingenuous.
