16 of the world's G20 countries are not in the EU. How on earth do they all cope without EU membership? #Brexitpic.twitter.com/mAu9mDNlBt

@2eastwalk yes, but we have one regardless of EU membership
@JuliaHB1 True but we have developed our 5th place economy as members of the EU.
@2eastwalk and you think that is all down to the EU?!
@JuliaHB1 Of course not but it certainly played a part. The issue is, would we be in the same position were we not in the EU. I think not.
@2eastwalk there are plenty of reasons to think a free trade deal with the EU has helped us but no evidence that political union has!
@JuliaHB1 @racheljoyce @2eastwalk Plus membership of the EU has forbidden us from striking our own free trade deals with others. Huge cost.
@wallaceme @JuliaHB1 @racheljoyce And actually we have a free trade agreement with the largest economy in the world. It's called the EU.
@2eastwalk @JuliaHB1 @racheljoyce c) doesn't require involvement in anti-democratic political union
@wallaceme @JuliaHB1 @racheljoyce But should we brexit, to do trade with EU we will still have to follow the rules without input.
