Forgive me for the obvious question, if we can see this as a can of worms, surely the Eu negotiators can see this? Why would they accept this from the UK negotiators? With what as the outcome?
I think they would probably see it as our can of worms. I guess at two parts of the outcome that they are working towards is 1) UK has been an obstruction to greater unification which could proceed with us gone, and 2) creating a strong deterant to other countries (and more importantly states I would imagine) following the same path of exit
Regarding your point earlier about extending the regulatory area across the whole of the UK, remember that it would require some form of impartial arbitration service along the lines of the ECJ, and the UK being out of the EU would have no say in the terms that are applied to the area (think punative rates on financial transactions to hurt the Bank of London for instance)
