No - you miss my point. If you are in favour of protectionism - why do you want to be a Single Market with the EU, where is the protection then for British businesses?
The Single Market was the protection. It’s a market of over 500m people, which can collectively trade as a single large market globally, making better opportunities than a single smaller entity, such as a single country, trying to do the same.
From day one of leaving the EU, as a U.K. business it’s been noticeably worse (yes, I’m sure it’s just “teething problems”, for people who don’t actually import/export themselves). As well as the additional paperwork, the costs of shipping have gone up massively, as have the costs of raw materials.
