Switzerland is a dynamo but their economy is .5 trillion dollars. The british GDP is 3 trillion dollars. They will have considerably more leverage in negotiating access to the single market. Also, the basic demand on immigration isn't that draconian. They aren't trying to bar the German executive that has an office in London. They just don't want to be swamped or overrun with refugees and dependents. That should get worked out.


Also, they might be 4 months away from a pro trade president in the Whitehouse. If Boris Johnson paints a path for a US UK trade agreement then its going to take a few more marbles away from Brussels.
