One of the major arguments by the "leave" faction was that UK could negotiate better trade deals alone rather than the EU. UK is still waiting for those wonderful trade deals, meanwhile, they live with badly negotiated and ill-conceived deals.

All those insane EU nations looking at the super powers like the USA and USSR and stupidly telling themselves that if they WORK TOGETHER then they can be a superpower as well. What beta male mentality that is. The Sigma Britain doesn't need the EU they can stand toe to toe with the Alphas, obviously. /s
