Yup. That's what this discussion is about though. If we get 'control' over our laws and immigration but keep as much access to the single market as is feasible without compromising 'control' then I don't see the motivation for railing against other than it being a wilful act of national sabotage. The Brexiters would have gotten what they wanted and yet still want to go further and remove the positives just so we can say we don't deal with the EU anymore. They've got the divorce, managed to keep the house but now want to burn it down to prove a point.

Now if they did want control + market access then the rest of it just becomes a case of degrees and how good a deal we can get. I would say paying a fee is one of the easiest concessions to make as it's simple and doesn't compromise on the control aspect.
