True, but how much negotiating prowess do you think we would have without the rest of the EU? The whole point of being in the EU is that when it comes to negotiation, you have the backing of the largest economic zone in the world. It becomes a lot easier to dictate terms compared to a single country.

But what your describing, wouldn't that be simply swapping one problem with the same problem but in a different group?

Countries in the TPP: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru,Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.

I don't think we need help negotiating trade deals, when Peru can do it.

Did they get a good deal?

And surely the problem of being part of this group would be exactly the same as with the EU? How much control do we lose when joining another economic pact?
