Good you're not expecting much then:

 

  • Countries are likely to offer the United Kingdom worse trade deals than it currently enjoys as an EU member, the former head of Liam Fox's International Trade Department has told Business Insider.
  • "The United Kingdom alone can offer significantly less in terms of market access or government procurement than can all of the European Union," Donnelly said.
  • Major trading partners of the UK including Japan and the USA have indicated that they will seek tough concessions from the UK in trade talks because it is a relatively small trading partner.
  • "Trade negotiators are not sentimental," Donnelly said.

The promise was to leave the EU. Regain sovereignty. 

He told MPs that "a new golden age for this United Kingdom is now within reach" adding that the government would "work flat out to deliver it". "Trade deals across the world creating jobs across the UK".

 

Whilst they have worked flat out none of this has actually been achieved. Total failure.

So yes, we DO have to abide with EU rules. Understand now?
