If anything, Brexit is an economic positive for Britain, because Brexit allows Britain to enter into bilateral trade agreements which are banned under the EU.
Britain can now enter into bilateral or multilateral agreements with Iceland, Greenland, Canada, the US, Mexico, China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, the Philippines or any country or countries it wants.
The EU already has free trade deals with Japan, Korea and many more countries. If it leaves the EU then the UK will lose those free trade deals and have to start over again with negotiations.
Is that because of Brexit, or because there are two birds in that tree?
Truth is output fell in EU countries, and it has nothing to do with Brexit.
Brexit is a political thing.
Brexit is akin to Britain, or the US or any other country leaving NATO. It's primarily a political decision and not an economic decision.

EU trade agreements tend to enrich France and Germany, but none of the other countries. It's in Britain's best interest not to be part of that.
Need it is political but it also is economic. I'm sure the unsure-mess had the impending doom of a Need it in mind with both the German and EU in pause. It is called reading between the lines. Sometimes there is more to read in a given situation than the article says. Then you have what Labour Party head Andrew Adonis claiming that FT is potentially siding with pro-Beexit due to them being owned by a Japanese company. This is like Trump going after Besos since he owns the WaPo or Fox affiliates for being owned by News Corp directly.

Boris can just tweet "take it or leave it" deals in less than 150 Characters. He is great just like Trump.
The Danish and German economies have benefited most among 14 EU countries from the expansion of the bloc's single market between 1992-2012, according to a study published Monday (28 July) by the Bertelsmann Stiftung, a German foundation.
Over those 20 years, German real gross domestic product rose by an average of €37 billion per year, translating into a yearly income rise of €450 per person. Danish citizens had a yearly income rise of €500 over that same period.
Austria, Finland, Sweden and Belgium round out the next four.
The EU is hamstrung by stupidity like the EU-Mercusor Deal.
They've been negotiating that Deal for 20 years....count 'em....1, 2, 3, 4, 5....20.
20 freaking years.
What idiot negotiates a trade deal for 20 freaking years?
Britain by itself would have finalized negotiations 18 years ago.
Irish and French beef ranchers are holding up the deal, because they don't want competition from South American beef.

So?
And those EU trade deals aren't necessarily in Britain's best interest.
It's not unlike the US. What did NAFTA do?
Some States benefited, some States saw no impact and some States were economically harmed, so NAFTA was not in the best interest of every State.
The difference between US States and EU members, is that it's easier for EU member-States to back out of the EU.

It's hard for morons.
Apparently you're not aware that the British government has cabinet positions that employ persons who are highly educated, trained and specialized in negotiating trade deals.
I'll clue you in on a secret: Most countries have cabinet positions to deal with trade.
I've assisted in the negotiation of FNCs (Friendship, Commerce & Navigation Treaties).
It's not Quantum Physics (at least not for me).
Britain would like to negotiate a trade deal with India, but it cannot, because France and Germany don't wanna.

You were talking about trade deals, not EU expansion or the EU single market, try again.
You also said that Germany and France were the main beneficiaries then produce a link saying that Denmark is has been the biggest beneficiary with France not in the top 6. (And like I said it isn't even about trade deals anyway).
D- See me after class.
