Common sense would say we exit the political union and become part of a free trade body. Sure there are a few niceties to sort out. But the lawyers have ensured that nothing can be that simple and there are loads of steps to take and limits and so forth. And who wins?
The reasons things get so complex is that the whole is trying to join together such varying entities that there are layers upon layers of rules and regulations to protect interests and sensibilities across a wide area with various exceptions and exceptions to the exceptions ad infinitum. And again who wins?

That's the definition of a truism.
Sooner or later one final piece of ill-conceived legislation will be put in place which causes the entire country to grind to a halt, locked in a circular problem to which there is no longer an answer/escape. The legal profession's equivalent of the Holy Grail...
