New paper: could we stay in the single market without re-joining EFTA?

No UK would have to implement directives, take law from European Court of Justice & Give Billions to subsidise & prop up the Euro.
Richard Branson & Tony Bliar are to Spearhead with Ta avoidance funds A Remain campaign.

Out Now ,May is a prisoner of Corporations as is hopeless Corbyn,Farron,Sturgeon,wood.

George Yarrow may be right about Article 126 EEA Agreement, and the territories to which the Agreement applies, but I am not sure that he deals with what to me is the bigger problem of all the Articles – and there are many of them – which apply to ‘EC Member States and EFTA States’. For example, Article 28 EEA reads in part:

1) Freedom of movement for workers shall be secured among EC Member States and EFTA States. …
3) It shall entail the right, … a) to accept offers of employment actually made;
(b) to move freely within the territory of EC Member States and EFTA States for this purpose;

none of which would appear to apply to the UK post-Brexit unless we were to join EFTA.

See further Articles 16, 31, 34, 36, 40, 42, 43, 44, 48, 50, and so on..

We voted to remove all control by Brussels, and to trade as countries like America, China and Australia do – freely without open borders and paying into their coffers.
Both Barosso and Juncker are on record as saying that EU Treaties mean what they say they mean, and Bernard Connolly in “The Rotten Heart of Europe,” makes clear that The Presidents of The Commission rule the ECJ, and that any decision or judgement is not to be trusted.
Having looked up The Vienna Convention on The Law of Treaties the EU, as it is presently Constituted, breaches Article 2, and the Articles on Sovereignty, therefore the EU Treaties do not hold Legal validity. That effectively makes the EU an Unincorporated Association, ruled by a Dictatorship, which makes up its Rules as it goes along.
That is what we voted to leave behind as we cast off and head for The High Seas.

Indeed. Out SHOULD MEAN Out. Free trade shouldn’t come with any political conditions such as free movement of people attached to it. The whole point of Brexit is to become a entirely self-governing country once again and not to be subject to free movement of people from elsewhere we have no control over, not to be subject to court judgements from the European Court of Justice or to pay billions upon billions into the bottomless pit of the EU.
