What about the free movement of goods?

What about the free movement of services, people, workers and capital?

What about the access to a single market with a benefit to GDP of 4-5% or £62bn-£78bn?

  • What about no Tariff Barriers or Customs or the 50% increase in trade worth £400bn with EU countries?

  • What about the inward investment worth $1.2 trillion and the recent deals with Canada and Japan worth $47 trillion?

  • What about the 750 thousand UK citizens who live in other EU countries?

  • What about the costs? Not much at £7.3 billion or 0.4% of GDP, less than Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany and The Netherlands.

  • What about the fact that there has been no war between EU countries since 1945.

So apart from:

  • Freedom of movement of goods, services, people and capital.

  • Access to a single market worth £62-£78bn.

  • Lack of tariff barriers or customs.

  • Increase trade with EU countries worth £400bn.

  • Inward investment worth $1.2 trillion.

  • 750 thousand UK citizens living and working in EU countries.

  • No war between EU countries for over 60 years.
