You're competing with the EU for every new deal you want. That's your main negative effect from brexit.

How many FTA's has the EU completed or ratified outside the single market again ?

When we leave I doubt the EU will stay in the G20 after 2 years.

Take a look for yourself. The list is too long to reproduce here.

Aren't there seven countries with completed FTA agreements with the EU?

Canada, Columbia, Equador, Egypt, South Korea, Jordan, Switzerland and Turkey

It is not difficult information to find.

An FTA between Australia and the EU is still under negotiation but these things take time.

Your last sentence is just wishful thinking.

There aren't any completed or ratified FTA's with countries outside the single market. It's a complete myth, as Solasch looks like he just found out

As for the EU being outside the G20, look at what it will look like after the UK leaves, then take into consideration that the UK will be a global economy, leaving behind the 27 as a protectionist economy in further decline, heading into recession and with the next rounds of Eurozone QE, rising debt, higher unemployment, low interest rates, junk bonds and wage stagnation (notice, no change since 2008, only a worsening outlook, year on year).

The EU trades mainly with itself. We are leaving - and taking our contributions and trade deficit with us, opening it up to the rest of the world - a huge threat, competing directly with the EU. Remember, the EU is only part of the G20 as a collective entity anyway, only Germany, France, UK and Italy are actual members. When 2021 comes around the G20 will see only Germany, France and Italy trying to keep the EU in it.

According to the latest forecasts 90% of GDP growth in the next 5 years will be outside the EU. The future of the EU is the ascension of Albania and Macedonia ... hardly setting the world economy alight is it ?

These countries are on other continents. Hardly within the single market, as bread falsely stated. But he is up to his old tricks again.
His new years intentions of being a good boy in 2020 into shreds already.

I said the only FTA's the EU have (that are complete or ratified) are with countries in the single market.

You sound like you only just found out

Oh dear...
