For now. Post Brexit that may be a completely different story. It is hard for me to imagine Europe without the single market and its advantages, I recently ordered something from Japan and it has been held up in customs for weeks now.

True, although I think that the difficulty in bringing something in from Japan isn't strictly to do with being in or being out, but rather being in a total clusterfuck of a situation where no one knows what's going to happen next, what the rules will be.

We're going to be living with the clusterfuck for a long time, one way or another.
