Some EU countries are net exporters. Germany and Ireland are two examples. You need to stop blaming others for British failings. Otherwise how will you ever learn?

An Aussie who also has no experience in trade matters...Mind you, he is only an advisor along with these experts:

Other advisers to the Board of Trade will include former Labour health secretary Patricia Hewitt, ex-Conservative Member of the European Parliament Daniel Hannan and economist and broadcaster Linda Yueh.

But Tony Abbott is not a trade expert. The only trade deal he signed was negotiated and agreed by others and before he was PM.

If you wish to know what really happened to the Australian Motor Industry then I suggest you hunt down "John Cadogan" on YouTube.
