Well.........I would certainly think so! The UK IS a major market, I would think.
The thing that really worries me though is that on an episode of Grand Tour, Clarkson and the "accident prone" little guy whose name I cant remember did a special on all the neat stuff built in the UK, vehicles and such and farm equipment and earth moving equipment and specialty vehicles and they did an entire parade of these vehicles and it was miles long of different stuff.
Thats great for the UK, but.........most all that stuff gets sold to the EU. Without access to that market........I would think your going to suffer massive jobs losses.
Jacob-Rees Mogg hints he would support Boris Johnson in leadership bid
Labour peer and People’s Vote campaigner Andrew Adonis is evidently not very keen on the PM’s decoupling of Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration, and insists that it was a Conservative manifesto promise to vote on them together.
Conservative party manifesto 2017: “We believe it is necessary to agree the terms of our future partnership alongside our withdrawal, reaching agreement on both within the two years allowed by Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union”
Live updates and explainers for anyone ?
Tomorrow we face the unpalatable truth that despite their election promises to the British people, the Tory Party and the Lab Party have conspired to ensure Brexit won't happen.
Time for a new, patriotic and honest politics to rise with

Which brings to mind a question. I seem to recall that in an effort to maintain the UK trade economy after WWII, the UK, Canada, Austrailia and New Zealand formed a special trade zone called the "Commonwealth".
What ever happened to that? Maybe that could be revived and maybe some former colonies like the US and India might be able to join? Could be hope in that?

MPs are scheduled to vote on Theresa May’s Withdrawal Deal alone from 14.30 tomorrow, the 29th of March, the day Britain was originally meant to exit from the EU.
The Commonwealth is an association of sovereign nations which support each other and work together towards international goals. With their common heritage in language, culture, law, education and democratic traditions, among other things, Commonwealth countries are able to work together in an atmosphere of greater trust and understanding than generally prevails among nations. www.commonwealthofnations.org...

Truth is we are totally integrated with the Europeans and breaking away from this is one of the most ludicrous ideas ever. We have it so good here in the UK and that wealth is based on us prospering within a single market. Now we cast open the gates to an unknown and why do this when we have it so good right now.
In summary
Although Brexit ought to be accomplished whatever the outcome, special care must be taken to remedy all of the prior incursions of our constitution and to ensure that no Standing army is created.
•Breach of sovereignty exists and must be remedied forthwith
•There can be no standing army
•Any solution must comply with international law
•The Subjects have a right of remedy, in petition direct to the Crown, to demand the enforcement of our constitutional law
•The laws are the Birthright of the people. Parliament may not destroy its omnipotence and thereby displace that Birthright to a foreign potentate
The will of the people has been expressed; however our written Constitution and the Rule of Law also determine that elected politicians do not sit in Parliament to:-
•Place the Monarch in breach of Her sworn duty
•Sell out the Birthright of the People to a Foreign Potentate
•To cede any governance to those who owe no allegiance to the Crown
•To support Ministers in contravention of their Privy Council oaths
•To place the House of Lords in contempt of the Crown
•To breach their own allegiance
•To disobey the law, most particularly the Bill of Rights, "An Act to secure the Rights and Liberties of the Subject"
•To place others in breach of their constitutional duty
•To create taxation without representation
•To separate the people from their courts
•To devise a standing army
Parliament has no lawful power to destroy its own omnipotence. That is the law and a written part of our constitution.
There can be no power in Parliament to continue any Breach of Sovereignty. It is the Crown's sworn duty to defend and recover it and thus the duty of all in any Governance whatsoever to repair the breach at the earliest time.www.ukcolumn.org...

We still have a 'Commonwealth of Nations', comprising 53 countries, 20% of all global trade and +25% of the world's population across 5 continents.
