Personally, I think the EU would let the UK dangle after the two year exit period is up so we would be working to WTO tariff rates under MFN rules. As an example, this would include 48% tariff on milk, 22% on meat, 12% on goods vehicles, etc. Ouch.

If you want to be part of the EEA then you will have to agree to the free movement of Labour. That is an irrefutable fact.

I am not talking about being part of the EEA, I'm talking FTA, there is a fundamental difference.
