Try to think of it from the point of view of a Maastricht rebel, or anyone else who has objected to our membership of what the EU became as a result of that treaty (made effective in the UK via the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993).
It has been a very long game to get to this point. Whatever the withdrawal agreement says, it is, crucially, a treaty between the European Union and a third party. We are going to be outside the EU. That is the critical victory we have won. What we do with that status - what “changes”, as you put it - is for future generations of voters and politicians to decide. The point is, British policy is decided in Britain, not Brussels. That’s something I think some of the ERG have lost sight of in the febrile atmosphere of the past few weeks.
