My point exactly. What does that have to do with the EU?
If Brexit proponents feel Britain should work with English-speaking former colonies on the other side of the planet, that's fine -- but why come up with lies about the EU to advance that goal?
Given that the EU has a common external trade policy, that's kind of difficult. Also, closer economic ties with countries outside of the EU are not the raison d'etre of Brexit, but a proposal for a viable alternative economic arrangement that would make Brexit feasible.
