tl:dr
It's Stealth BEANO.
To be fair it's actually a great deal better than that. What it will actually do is mean that whilst we have all the same agreements, infrastructure involvement etc. etc. they will be agreements WITH the EU, NOT as PART OF the EU.
I think that's pretty good. But it will come down to the strength of the political manpower and force that is put into it and continues to be put into it.
Done right, it will remove much of the stuff we don't like (Sovereignty issues mostly) but keep the good stuff - cooperation.
I don't think it will bring the independence in trade that people are expecting, but that was never going to happen anyway.
The world got up in arms about the Transition Agreement, and I thought they were being silly. But given that this document is simply 50 pages of *opinions*, then I can only imagine the papers over the next few days.
Any questions or disagreements?
