    With a customs union they can bitch all they want, they won’t have a vote or any say on European policies.
    Personally I’d like for EU and UK to cooperate more instead of less. Cooperation creates progress. We can see how ending cooperation is harmful on both sides both with Brexit and with Trump.

    But UK can never get their former status back in EU. Not even in 30 years.

      If they want in a customs union with the EU. they can join the EAA. No need to treat them like they are anything special.

        I’m guessing you mean EEA. And Norway has very specifically stated that they have no interest to be tied in with UK, and why shouldn’t UK be able to have their own deal like Switzerland?
