Alex 42163 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 What we should do is have this arrangement in place whereby we make a contribution to the EU and in return we get access to the single market, have freedom of movement, get a say in making decisions but don't need to sign up to the Euro.

Renton 27805 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Â Genius. Why wasn't this ever on the table? I'd like the agreement to include staying out of Schengen so we can effectively control non-EU movement across our borders. You know what, we should be really cheeky and ask for a rebate too.
