The suggestion that the UK might enjoy a "Swiss-style" relationship with the EU is however unrealistic. Neither the EU nor the Brexiteer's European Research Group (ERG) would ever permit it. The Conservative Party is incapable of extricating itself from Brexit. The force of economic circumstances and changing public opinion may however encourage Labour leader Keir Starmer reluctantly to abandon his futile hope of "making Brexit work".
SPEAKERS: Brendan Donnelly is the Director of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP. John Stevens is the Chairman of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.
