• Of course, but given the time scales involved it’s likely that Labour would not be in government to finish the negotiations.

  • That's a problem for every political party though.

    And since parliament is not bound by the previous parliament (unless it is the Brexit referendum cos then all the rules are suddenly irrelevant...) normally, that is something I think should be resolved.

    Maybe there is some way to pass legislation that the parliament after should on Brexit negotiations implement what was agreed or put unfinished parts of the negotiation back to a public vote?

    If not...then what does anybody actually have in their hands unless they come up with something that can pass parliament and can be dealt with quickly in further negotations? Aside from full SM/CU membership I can't think of anything.

  • Any negotiations will take forever and probably come at political cost to any party that makes deals because the complexity and the easy, wilful misrepresentation - this is such a contentious subject now. The libertarian right probably stand to lose least in this regard for obvious reasons. They’d do relatively few standard agreements, much less taxation and regulation.

    ’finish’

    Not really a thing. Once we’re out future governments can attempt to renegotiate all sorts at any point. Promises along those lines are going to be the new normal.

    Labour have abandoned ‘No Freedom of Movement’ (officially?). EFTA and EEA (access to the single market) is possible.
