Doesn’t the EU need us more than we need them?
No. A much higher proportion of UK exports go to the EU than EU exports come to the UK. The EU is the destination of 44% of the UK’s goods and services exports, but the UK is the destination of only 8% of the EU’s exports.
As a result, EU exports to the UK are worth 3% of EU GDP, while UK exports to the EU are worth 13% of UK GDP – four times more. Also, almost half of all of our foreign investment comes from the EU.

Maybe if the English voters cared to get some information before blindly vote on the base of nationalism and the size of bananas there would be less confusion.

Does it really matter who needs whom more?
If they both need each other, it should be seen as something good.

Technically it does. Because the EU may decide the introduce duty taxes with the UK. It's the same old logic: if you're not with us, you're against us. And since it has been England the one that decided to leave.. Also to show the other Countries that it is better to be a big, "happy" family. Divorces are always costly and the EU sure isn't the one who wants to pay its price.
