Why would Labour come up with impossible scenarios only to then abandon them the second they get into power? Why would the EU trust that they will abandon the positions that they have (in the case of Gardiner) argued passionately for, the second they get into power?
Finally, why would they change the current WA, even if ALL red lines vanish and sanity breaks out? It gives the UK and EU a transition, if we intend on SM+CU then the backstop won't fire in anyway so that's a non-issue, so any sane government would agree to it and move straight into future relationship discussions.
If we don't agree a future relationship within the transition then we'll need the backstop, so it won't be coming out of the WA.
