You gave Singapore as an example of how Britain could succeed.

Your analysis of negotiations between bigger blocs and smaller countries is too simplistic. You only have to look how Singapore operates, appreciate that we could operate as a lower tariff country, bear in mind that we are the 5th largest economy of the world, and little facts such as these, to realise that there is no reason why we could not improve our fortunes outside of the EU.

I showed some of the reasons Singapore succeeds, and why that meant it wasn’t a pertinent example.
That planet...
btw, we’re forecast to be 7th soon, after India and France.

With Britain falling from fifth to seventh place, both France and India are likely to overtake the United Kingdom in the rankings of the world’s largest economies in 2019, that according to the CEOWORLD magazine. The latest projected “GDP rankings of the world’s largest economies” is based on the size of national economies in US dollar terms.
The United States remains the world’s largest economy, but China is expected to take first place by 2032. The magazine expects India to rise to fifth place in 2019 from seventh, and France to remain at sixth.
Although the global economy as a whole is expected to slow, the magazine forecasts GDP growth of 1.6 percent for the United Kingdom in 2019, compared with 1.7 percent in France, 2.3 percent in the United States, and 7.6 percent for India. The United Kingdom is currently the world’s 5th biggest economy with a GDP of $2.81 trillion, according to the IMF, but only $20 billion bigger than France and $120 billion larger than India.
