    Switzerland is not in the EEA.

    They have bilateral agreements.

    This is absolutely correct.

    same as the UK does

    This is very wrong. The level of integration between Switzerland and the EU is almost at the same level as a full member. While the UK told everyone to go fuck themselves. They aren’t even in Schengen for fuck’s sake.

      The Swiss have more bilateral deals. The UK has a lot in one.

      We’ve never been in Schengen.

      We should have defaulted to EFTA as that’s where we were when we entered the common market. The EU changed a lot in 1993, we didn’t sign up for that.
