    If Britain were to return to a pre-Brexit state today, it may look more like what Switzerland has: regulatory alignment and freedom of movement, though outside the increasingly tightly integrated bloc.

      The UK were never a partner of the free movement, you’d have to dig out your passport every time you were entering their country and I doubt freedom of movement would be on the top of their list of things they’d want from a partnership with the EU

      Not quite pre-Brexit, because it is not the same as a membership, but I agree that the realistic near future is increased cooperation between UK and EU, and something like Switzerland is a likely model. Which will mean UK will have to follow EU regulation, but will have zero influence on it.
