Note that "deal" will have to replace the existing decades' worth of detailed regulation argued over by many government workers ad infinitum, on a thousand topics. And the treaty says that such a deal is only accepted by a unanymous vote of all EU members.
If the UK leaves this decade, it will be without any deal in place.
- sievebrain 10y agoHere's how you write such a deal: "As of date X, all existing EU regulations remain in force. Changes to UK law that overlap with existing areas of EU regulation will result in a notification to the Commission". Done. There is no need to 'replace' detailed regulation on a thousand topics when, as you observe, it is already implemented in UK law.
