With a good deal the UK will take the EU to the cleaners and the dream is over, without a good deal the EU loses a major customer and there's some hope in keeping the dream alive.

And that's what a united Europe is, a dream as far fetched as unicorns. That's not to say a Trade Deal between European Countries is impossible. Not to say that agreements on people working around Europe can't be made. All these things were possible before the EU made it better for companies to poach skilled people from other nations, to also employ unskilled to keep down labour costs, etc.

There's very little the EU can create that can't be created without a United Europe.
