Would people be okay with the Canadian deal? Something like 98% of trade is tariff free without needing to pay any fees or have freedom of movement or restrictions on free trade deals with non EU states.
Only if it covered the financial markets. My main concern about Brexit is the effect on our financial services. However I suspect that some EU members will not want this and will seize on this to take a share of our the city of londons market share. I think the only way of us ensuring that is membership of the single market.
I would like to think that we would be proactive about opening up immigration in fields that need it. I.e. the health service, farming industry etc so freedom of movement doesn't have to be a barrier. But ultimately what's more important the city or free movement? That I think is the important question in the negotiations.
