It looks interesting, but I doubt we'll need it. All the noise now seems to indicate that the Leave camp are effectively split into 'Out out out' and 'Out but in the single market' it seems 'Out but in' is Tory establishment position and that's what we'll end up with(Some kind of Noway style agreement) So we'll still be able to trade and do business in the Single market just like before.

And have free movement of labour, which won't go down well in areas like Lincolnshire. The fascist parties and groups must be rubbing their hands with glee.

You cant say that we have to have freedom of movement for free trade. Lichtenstein has a points based system and is in the EEA.

To cut out the 'bad EU immigration' it would be far easier to just cut the in work and out of work benefits.

The Liechtenstein model sounds promising.

That appears to be true. How come we're only hearing about it now?

To be fair Liechtenstein is very very small, and people mostly drive in from outside to work there. That doesn't really work for the UK. And if the EU grants immigration restrictions for the UK doesn't it also have to concede the same to Switzerland?

It's got a population of 37,000, so it's not that small.

And don't forget the Greenland model - Greenland is even bigger with a population of 56,000.

Somebody needs to advise Angela about Liechtenstein.

We will make sure that negotiations will not be carried out as a cherry-picking exercise. There must be and there will be a palpable difference between those countries who want to be members of the European family and those who don’t ...

Whoever wants to leave this family cannot expect to shed all its responsibilities but keep the privileges ...

Those for example, who want free access to the single market will in return have to respect European basic rights and freedoms ... That’s true for GB just as much as for the others.

Free acccess to the single market is granted to those who accept the four basic European freedoms: that of people, goods, services and capital. Norway for instance is not a member of the European Union but has access to the single market because it accepts open migration from the European Union.
