Theresa goes for option 4.

It's not confusing: just made out to be so, by those with an axe to grind.

Have you never haggled and got a better deal in your life, JD?

When one Tries to haggle one to one it is possible to get a good deal.

How do you think you would fare haggling a point, one to twenty seven (which is the task facing Mother Theresa she is having to haggle with twenty seven other Countries )

Really...
Are trade deals really that complicated to negotiate?
Trade deals are monumentally complex. When Greenland, a country with a population smaller than that of Uxbridge and an economy based essentially on a single industry (fishing), withdrew from the EU in 1985, it took three years to negotiate its future relationship with the bloc.

Ceta, the EU-Canada deal, took seven years to negotiate and was about 22 years in the making. But this was a relatively simple trade agreement that does not include the services provisions and deals on non-tariff barriers that a big exporter of professional services such as Britain will almost certainly require.

Deals between larger economies such as the US/EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the US/Asia deal known as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) proved so complicated and controversial that they have collapsed under their own political weight.

What's your take on "monumentally complex" eh Brigadoom?

If Brag thinks its easy, he should apply for the job. UK has a dire shortage of experienced multi-national negotiators. The EU doesn't.

I'm getting that Brigadoom, but it does not deter from the fact that negotiating trade deals is "monumentally complex".
Even more difficult when you have people like bumbling BJ forging diplomatic relations.

[transam]

Exactly 27 veto's some of which are from insignificant countries who no one would miss apart from the inhabitants if they disappeared

hence why we are better off out of EU
