The lead campaigner of Britain’s EU exit campaign Boris Johnson, said that the UK would continue to seek have access to the European Union’s single market despite voting to leave the body.
In a statement made on Sunday, Mr Johnson said Britain could now forge a relationship based on free trade and partnership rather than a federal system, whilst also fostering free trade deals with growing economies outside the EU.
Mr Johnson added that immigration was not a key factor of Britain’s desire to exit the EU, arguing that the necessity of greater sovereignty was the biggest reason.
Mr Johnson added that all EU citizens in the UK would have their rights protected, while British people would continue to seek to work, live and travel in the EU.
