My view is bad. Economically 40% of our exports go there - if we fail to get a deal then they will all have to cost more, so people buy less and therefore as a country we are poorer. The argument that there is the rest of the world is true but we don't have a trading record with them and would need to build it up. I just think it is a huge risk. I maybe over cautious - to me though it would have been better to get reform from within so that we could have some limited trade deals on our own with countries but not blow all that away. Also the financial services sector in the UK is a huge deal - much of that is because London is inside the EU if we fail to get a deal that allows "passporting" of financial services we'll lose a lot of income to the country too.
Of course I'm only looking at trade there not at stuff like immigration, Northern Ireland, customs at ports etc.
It's very complicated - which is also why I think we don't really know what it means so I'd prefer to stay as we are.

@SW-User yes to me its about the trade, the culture
we do a lot of trade and a few of my freidns have lost there jobs becuase of the down turn as he compainies are now getting the goods from mainland eu countries
its a massive risk on what, a few porkies but to me why throw away so much to get what could be something a lot worse just look at the usa, china, inida, austrailia already saying for trade deals
yes we are better being in to make reform than being left behind and knocking on the door
as for customes i lvie near aport and the problem always been our government making the cut backs on staff
