11. An independent UK will be much less of an economic and otherwise influential world power

I think that the UK's status as a player on the world stage will be greatly reduced. Obviously not third world in the literal sense but if Scotland and Northern Ireland separate, the banking centers move from London to Europe, and the UK is decoupled from the EU economy I don't see anywhere to go but down in many ways.

I think the UK is thinking they can negotiate the kind of deal Norway has with the EU but what do they bring to the table?
