I appreciate it’s clear to you, but not so much to me.
I can’t do much about that. I can’t make it any clearer.
And remember Negotiation 101 – there have to be two winners in a bipartite negotiation otherwise both sides will loose eventually.
That’s the bit the EU historically don’t get and don’t want to get this time in case others vote to leave
So simple question on your view point. Do we have to leave (I think you think yes)
We are leaving. That’s simple too.
and what does leave mean?
Ending membership of the European Union.
If for example, we “left” and remained in the single market and customs union, maintaining the 4 freedoms, with or without club subs, would that be acceptable?
Neither side have put this scenario on the table, for obvious reasons. Both sides have opened with positions that don’t work. From there they – or at least we – will negotiate. So there may be/will be compromises. I have no idea what they will be. But we can pretty sure, what you have laid out will not happen.
My own position is in the minority, so cannot happen. I can live with that though, it’s part of living in a democracy. Sometimes it can be tough, but that’s life. Deal with it….
