As just england, it would have little more negotiating power than NOrway -- and note that Norway has to follow ALL the EU rules, pay in to the EU money and has ZERO say in the rule making. That's a bad deal
England has only the financial services industry to rely on and that would shrink in the event of Brexit -- and England would be dependent on the EU letting the provide financial services to EU clients.
No, leaving the EU would weaken England irrevocably. And for individualism, they would have even less individualism when they have to kow-tow to the demands of the EU, US, China, India, Russia etc. separately as a middling power
Sorry friend I disagree.
