I cannot see how you will not be forced to accept the race to the bottom that the EU neocons consider as a priority to counter the China BRI project. You're going to have to face that race wherever you are. The EU is a big player but a Brexit UK loosed from the herd is automatically more vulnerable and will have to make even greater concessions to trade with other nations like China and the US. This is a problem that Brexiters apparently fail to see. You really think that Scotland is hard enough to take this on without being socialist? I think it would do better in the EU than England will do outside: that's for sure. England seems to be caught in a time warp and still have nostalgic Empire delusions that can be taken advantage of. As I have said before, as a consequence of Brexit I reckon the remnants of British manufacturing will end up focusing on the arms Industry more and more, and that it will become even more subservient to the US military Industrial project: much as your remaining services and utilities will become rentier moneymakers for US corporations accelerating the present day trends. Fox and the comprador Tories will rub their hands with glee whilst the Brexiteers will be fobbed off with the kind of Nationalistic bread and circus jingoism about "England being great again" which appeals to them and is part of what they voted for, and which will generally involve killing inferior dusky people in foreign lands to bring them "Democracy".
