Here I was actually thinking you were intelligent.

Not a way to win someone over. Srsly dude you have to stop with the personal attacks, people will just get peeved and tune out I'll try not to though because you are friendly when not discussing politics.

Britian relies on the EU because it's a major benefit, you would do the same, no? Britian being reliant on the EU to benefit themselves doesn't mean they can't become self-reliant. Why shouldn't the UK try to establish new trade agreements after ditching its forced obligations to a socialist EU? Trade agreements are easy to negotiate as long as both sides are willing.

To read between the lines a little, your advocating that Britain stops all trade with every member of the European union? A move that means cutting of 48% of their exports and 47% of their imports (April 2016). Yes it is true that the UK could try and setup trade agreements with other countries but this is going to be alot more difficult than with European countries because of the UK's geographical location and historical connections. Historical connections centred around trade that the UK simply does not have with, say, America or China and so organising a trade agreement which is even better than that which is setup with the EU is going to be especially difficult. The UK will not have the high ground in any kind of trade deals that it will attempt to sort out moving forward, so it will likely have to settle for worse deals simply out of necessity of sorting out a deal. As well as this, actual UK products/exports are not in themselves particularly valuable, given the cheap nature of simple getting stuff from 3rd world countries , infact the way the EU works out is that the UK gets paid alot more for stuff that is very cheap elsewhere because of the nature of the agreement. In short the UK is going to struggle to even match its economic success at the moment under the EU.

One of the only reasons the economy of the UK has remained standing is because of their unwillingness to adopt the Euro out of preservation of the pound, which has worked out for them obviously since they had the best economy out of the entire EU next to Germany.

What relevance does the Euro have to this debate? The UK did not adopt the Euro and adopting the Euro was not something they were about to do if they continued as a member of the EU. Besides, Germany uses the Euro and is the wealthiest country in EU (interesting that you used the term "next to" to describe its financial ranking in relation to the UK).
