By jove, I think you have got it. Soft = not.

There is no such thing as ‘soft Brexit’.

You cannot Brexit and stay in the Single Market.

I have politely, and in the context of the thread, asked you for the Labour policy on Brexit.

It is factual to state that you haven’t provided it.

Can you provide us with Labours Brexit policy and what you have called a ‘Corbyn Brexit’ on this thread? If you cannot, please say and that will end my enquiry.

The Labour policy is neither here nor there. Labour didn't call for a referendum, Labour didn't call for a snap election after invoking article 50, nor did they hand over 1billion to a minor party to retain power.

Brexit is about the current lot in charge, not what Labour may or may not do. If, as is a possibility, the government collapses, then it can be discussed.


If you reallu want to know Corbyn's thoughts, a full transcript of his recent speech in Geneva contains quite a bit of stuff about Brexit. [Link]

It was well received internationally, but for some reason a lot of the media didn't mention it.

The Corbyn speech in your link wasn’t really about the EU, it was his ‘vision’ for International governance and operation. It is fanciful.

I can only conclude that there is no such thing as a ‘Corbyn Brexit’ and neither Corbyn or Labour, have any vision for Brexit.

You cannot Brexit and stay in the Single Market.

But you can have access to it with its benefits a la non-EU member Norway.

It that means incorporating items of EU law that voters specifically rejected, such as freedom of movement and the supremacy of the ECJ, therefore a Norway deal is a non-starter.

Access to Single Market is possible but if the EU wants unfettered access to the UK market, then any access to the Single Market will have to be on terms that reflect Britain’s independence & that British law and institutions govern disputes between EU and British companies.

People voted for Brexit for a variety of reasons so it's wrong to say that voters specifically rejected certain aspects of the EC as no-one really knows.

I voted Brexit but no-one knows why and it wasn't to get rid of the supremacy of the ECJ

If Corbyn get's in should there be another election soon you can bet your bottom krona that the Norway model is exactly what he will pursue.

The referendum was advisory not enshrined so he wil have room to manoeuvre whilst Brexiting whether the 51.8 like what he is doing or not.

The lot running the show now, if they can somehow shut out the Hard Brexiteers, will dilute and soften Brexit as much as possible without doing a Norway imo. A no one wins scenario but a begrudging that will have to do from all sides.

whether he does or not is neither here nor there as he is not in the driving seat.

Focus your ire on the ones in charge of Brexit

The reality here IMO is that the PM had to dash to Brussels to agree the EU terms for starting talks only about trade starting next February.

The 15 page 'agreement' is sketchy and all up for future discussion notably the Irish border.

Just cobbled together to meet the EU deadline.

Erm, I was asking you to clarify what the term you used, ‘Corbyn Brexit’, meant and it’s turned out to mean nothing.

I have no ire yet with the government on Brexit as they have triggered Article 50 and we are leav8ng the EU. Time will tell what Brexit we get.

The first paragraph is nonsensical. Please clarify.

If I were you, I would stop kidding myself that we will get a Norway deal. The government and the EU has said we are leaving the Single market.

We won’t, for a multitude of reasons including but not limited to the faults inherent in the ‘Norway deal’, which both the EU and the Norwegians wish could be changed.

A key sticking point and cause of trauma is the Norway/Sweden border. The manner in which it is managed will not be replicated Northern Ireland/ROI border.

We are going to get a UK\EU deal because this situation is unprecedented.
