The best short-term solution seems to be "Brexit in name only" => the Norway model. This way the UK can re-add "EU features" step by step.

  So paying membership fees and having to adhere to all EU regulations and ECJ decisions but without the voting rights? That does not sound like something the UK would accept.

    How much are voting rights worth in practice though, from a single entity? It is only really important if they would have the swing vote, or if something requires unanimous decision.

      Nothing major in the EU has ever been done without consensus. That's why so many exceptions were made for the UK when they were members.

    It’s inevitable. The share of, at best clueless, but more likely spiteful and cruel, old people who ensured the absolutely inane brexit majority decision, before they unceremoniously were reduced to the fate of just dying off, is monotonically shrinking. While the share of young people who weren’t even allowed to have a say in the rest of their future life, is monotonically growing. It’s by far the most crystal clear example of the old desperately trying to eat the young, incontrovertibly to feed their petty greed, but it obviously does not have any effect on the biological realities. A Norway style arrangement, while far worse than the previous deal, is and will always be better than the current quagmire. Unfortunately the psychotic sadist in the ERG still have influence over British politics.
