An article at Lib Dem Voice points out:
There is however a ready-made solution that could sort this [Brexit] mess out, and that is for the UK to join the European Economic Area (EEA) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
This arrangement already works well for Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and it could work well for Britain too.
The author suggests that the Lib Dems should get behind this idea and unite moderate Leavers and Remainers. The comments are mainly hard core Bremoaners shouting the idea down.
Via @paulknight85, an article at ConHome says the Tory government:
... have no alternative but to look for a Plan B. Here is one.
The Government tears up Plan A, and seeks to park the UK in the EEA for, say, four years. At the end of that period, the UK would trade with the EU on basic WTO terms, if a David Davis-style Canada Plus Plus Plus deal had not been agreed.
The author glosses over, or is ignorant of the fact that to be in the EEA, a country must be a member of EFTA or the EU, but hey.
The comments are mainly hard core Brexiteerss shouting the idea down.
I suppose this is some sort of reverse Indian Bicycle Marketing, either way, I'm sick of extremists on both sides.
