Name me one major manufacturing plant outside the EU that is there specifically to sell foreign goods to the EU?
Of course the UK can develop it´s own industries but you can wave bye bye to the "easy money" EU inward investment.
Turn this round and you tell us which countries IN the EU are prosperous.. very few and those that are will be dragged down to solve the problems of Spain, Italy and Greece - not to mention Romania when it joins. Poland if it adopts the Euro (as it fully intends to do) will lose its competitiveness as a low cost manufacturer.
The EU is dead unless it ditches the Euro or becomes a full blown superstate which will of course result in another Soviet Union authoritarian state.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

At least we can leave the EU peacefully unlike other countries subsumed into similar non democratic tyrannies:

Do you think that the EU countries will forego their current trade surplus with the UK?
Your argument seems based on calling people names.Comment

says it all really
Are you saying that trade barriers are already preventing the US and Asia exporting to the EU countries?
Yes there are restrictions. There are quotas on cars for example. That´s why they set up manufacturing plants in the UK.
There are different types trade barriers.
The UK will continue to export to the EU, it will become harder and therefore some business will disappear. The question is how much.Last edited by BlasterBates; 20 May 2013, 17:18.I'm alright JackComment

British companies will stop operating in the EU, and start operating in the UK, because they won't be able to sell into the UK from abroad. - With removal of free movement of labour, the UK will have less people selling their skills into the rest of the EU, and will not benefit from other EU workers coming here.
With removal of free movement of labour, the UK will have more skilled UK people working inside the UK, and will not have jobs lost to immigrants. - With London outside the EU, Frankfurt will take most of the UK's financial services business away.
With London outside the EU, London will take even more business from Frankfurt, because London will be completely free of the stifling red tape, taxes, and unnecessary financial regulation that the EU engenders. - We will lose our EU rebate.
We won't have to pay £1 billion every 20 days to that bunch of wasters. - We will never be allowed to join the Euro.
hallelujah praise the lord!

To get back to figures, the BBCs economics editor has this to say:
No-one knows. If anyone asks you about the economic costs and benefits of leaving the European Union, that is almost always going to be the best answer.bloggoth
