    With no exit payment required. And everyone takes a lot of pain. The UK contributes 12% of the EU budget after all.

    Interestingly Irelands largest market is the US .... with which there is no free-trade deal either. So maybe this access to the single market is not all it's cracked up to be.

              So is there a EU-US single market? I thought that they were trying to negotiate this TTIP thing that stalled/collapsed.

                It occurs to me - if the EU thinks that a departing UK must pay up its net contributions anyway, then surely Greece could quit the EU and the EU would still have to pay Greece the money was contracted to - in exactly the same way?
