The Common Market was the trade deal you are in favour of. The UK signed up to the CM, it was never given a chance to vote on joining the EU. France, Holland, Eire did vote and voted no and the people were ignored. Maybe if there had been a vote in the UK the UK would have voted NO and the EU would have been scrapped. Hard to go ahead when 3 powerful economies back out.

let me turn this question around:
does the UK really want to lose the power of this big alliance?
do you really think that a small an independent partner will get the better trading deals as a very big union?

Do the non-EU countries who have trade deals with the EU have to abide by EU laws?

the EU is still a young plant and it have to grow and a lot of things have to be changed there. but at least it is a great idea and with the time it will become better and better.

Will it? Look at the balance of power between nations who contribute and nations who take.
If there was an EU referendum on staying in the EU or dismantling it and reverting to a free trade zone. The overwhelming majority would vote for the free trade zone. The problem is politicians won't give anyone the chance to vote.
Common Market bureaucrats and politicians took control of the trade agreement between European countries and then without asking or ignoring the people they formed the EU. Which meant not only do you lose the right to strike independent trade deals with non-EU members, you also accept centralist passing laws on your country.
