This question was phrased by the source as follows:
Britain leaves the EU and does not sign any new trade deal with the rest of
the EU, relying on World Trade Organisation rules. Britain does not have
automatic access to European markets, and there are tariffs or other
barriers on many British exports. Britain has full control over our borders
and immigration, does not have to follow any EU regulations and does not
have to contribute any money to the EU.
Do you think this outcome would be good or bad for Britain?
