Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU

The EU’s massive problem is that it has written a lot of rules that make businesses in the EU inefficient. They have got away with it until now because all the major economies in Europe have been shackled together and protectionism keeps the rest of the world at bay. They now face the prospect of one of the biggest economies in the world on its doorstep not being held back by those rules. The risk to the EU is great. Nevertheless if they think they can deal with it simply by trying to ensure we remain aligned to their rules they’re going to be disappointed. They may hate to admit it but our presence on their doorstep yet outside their laws will ensure we continue to exercise a subtle restraint on their zeal for regulating everything in sight.
