BREXIT

[VNA]

I think we end up leaving, but joining EFTA /Single Market. Or doing an individual deal with the EU that very closely matches that plus some immigration /residency concessions. Not my preferred option, but it fits with 'Leave' and at the same time protects UK exporters and solves the Irish Border.

It might respect the Good Friday agreement but it’s never going to fully satisfy the two countries in this Union that voted to REMAIN.


Further the fact is that all it achieves is that we become a rule taker, as opposed to a rule maker.  We would have to give up sovereignty.

The BREXITEERS, who were for this during the campaign, now turn it on their head and jump on that simple fact.  So you just end up in the same log jam.


I don’t know what the immigration /residency concessions would be as freedom of movement is in fact a non-issue.
