If the EU refused a free trade agreement with the UK out of spite, despite the huge cost to the citizens of the EU if they did that, that should show you that the EU is run by narcissistic despots and it'd be best to get out quick.

Are we not forgetting that without the EU, the UK would be free to independently form free trade deals with other countries. North America and East Asia are forming the TPP, a free trade union across the pacific nations. Having the EU protectionists in control of the UK's international trade agreements prevents the UK from getting involved in other pacts around the globe.
