Leaving single market - what would the effect be?

[LittlePickleHead]

I'm trying to accept what's unfolding, and to garner some positivity towards the future out of EU.

So, if we do get Gove as prime minister, he has previously said he would like to leave the single market and according to DC like to cause destruction because good things come from it (?!)

So. We get Gove. He negotiates withdrawal from single market and we impose very strict rules on immigration.

What's the likely effect on the economy? On the financial industry?

What is Murdoch/Dacres game plan in all of this (they will have a significant amount of input no doubt). Surely the destruction of the economy is in no ones interest?

My head is hurting. If anyone has any insightful ideas about any of this would love to hear them

All of the analyses I've seen are partial and full of assumptions based upon the prejudice of the writer.

People trade where they can, my experiences or working in Africa and Asia and middle eastern countries have found them very challenging in terms of business, with a myriad of different taxation laws etc, let alone actually getting paid.

It has come close to having duty free scientific equipment (which should be fast-tracked) as part of an aid project destroyed twice by customs, as it was taking so long to release.

EU makes it so simple to trade and sell goods etc as efficient processes are in place.

cousins come first, what cousins?! Who are the cousins?
