Well, they're still gonna have to trade with countries in the EU (probably), which means they're going to have to make trade agreements with EU countries, among other things. Countries that are in Europe and want to trade with EU countries generally still have to accept and work with most of the trade regulations the EU writes, but they don't get a say in them. By putting itself in that position, Britain will most likely have to deal with and even follow some EU laws, but they no longer get a hand in writing them. That's not really a gain of sovereignty, in my opinion.
Indeed... I don't see how loss of influence and increase in isolation is Britain becoming more free...
