Well yeah but we're making one of those decisions now, if we stay in the EU. It's not a question of if the UK is sovereign or not, will we will remain a bit of both. It's a question of degrees.

I'm not in favour of a Norway style of relationship wi th the EU either. As Chris pointed out in a post pages back- the Norwegans were sold out to the EU by their polititians and then the people voted to not strengthen their ties to the EU......ending up with a pretty crappy deal.

At some point the relationship we'll have will have to be seriously considered. Whenever a drawback to a possible deal is floated it's mentioned that this isn't the type of deal with UK would do. However trade agreements require concessions from either side, as i mentioned before it's not a case of simply two sides agreeing to drop tariffs and moving on. They'll seek to include special provisions, exemptions, regulations and sometimes even laws into them.
