It’s better for the EU to have to ask for them to be put on the table, rather than being able to argue for continuation of the status quo. For us to threaten to diverge from regulations we previously agreed to be bound by is perhaps a less credible negotiating tactic than proving our willingness to cut loose and then being willing to come to a mutually beneficial arrangement based on a mutually acceptable degree of integration.
