ewerk 34674 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 It's much worse. It would mean not being in the single market so there would be checks on goods but we would be in the customs union so wouldn't be able to change our tariffs in order to sign trade deals.

ewerk 34674 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 It'll be interesting to see what format this takes. It very much undermines the UK's negotiating position for trade talks imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Glad he’s consistent. The bottom line is this. The refferendum was won (narrowly) by the leavers. Even a lot of remainers just want the deal to be done. Another refferendum would be bad for the country and the anti EU stance would drag on for years. Regardless of which way anyone voted, the best outcome now is a sensible deal that allows the U.K. and the EU to move forward as solid allies. If it all turns to shit then we can rejoin at some point in the future as proper members or move to efta. But agreeing a good future partnership is the best way of securing a lasting friendship whether that leads to success as a stand-alone country or future EU member.
