That’s an interesting one. The Swiss model is so complex and, by the way, is an a-la-carte agreement between the two entities. The hardliners won’t want to see a penny paid into the EU nor the applicability of EU law to the treaties elements.

I can see economic merit in easing trade, but the price to be paid will horrify some people. It would need putting to a referendum.
