But I don't see membership of EEA as attractive overall. So this option wouldn't be available.Just Charleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211900218100883953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595170528482326281.post-80244618385091416462016-06-07T00:35:27.558+01:002016-06-07T00:35:27.558+01:00@jonathanportes describes the situation in http://...@jonathanportes describes the situation in http://www.niesr.ac.uk/blog/condorcet-paradox-work-rock-paper-scissors-eu-referendum#.V1YHVr4W6G5 thus:<br />"...the "straight Leave" option means both that the UK would no longer be part of the Single Market and that we would no longer have free movement with the rest of the EU; while the Norway option would mean that we would retain both."...<br />"While Parliament and the government would obviously and rightly be bound by the referendum to negotiate the UK's exit from the EU, they wouldn't be bound by anything that Vote Leave had said about how that should be done.
