Well I hope we keep our resolve and walk away if we need to. Us walking away would certainly not be the end, but at least it would finally let the EU know we are serious.
Just some thoughts
1. Level playing field? It nothing of the sort. It should be called the “you adhere to all our rules and laws...field”. Which is not on, as long as our products and services are of an equal standard how deliver them is down to us and no one else.
2. Fishing, I find the whole fishing question crazy. How can a sovereign nation not be in control of it’s own waters? It's not that France, Spanish, Dutch etc wouldn’t be allowed in, but it must be up to the U.K. to decide how many and how much they can catch.
Just as Norway and the EU currently do. Surely this should be acceptable and if not why not.

3. ECJ. What sovereign nation would allow themselves to be ruled over by a foreign court? Can anyone name one outside of the EU. Surely a system like they use for Canada should be acceptable, and if not why not?
