Also any laws that are passed during this time(we have no say over their formulation) will have to be adhered to. (Knowing the peevish nature of the EU and their desire to punish us, there could be mayhem during this transitional period. Laws could be passed that cannot be revoked....and that are detrimental to us) I detest the EU and all it stands for.
This deal is NOT leaving....except in name only.
And with the backstop(the EU are never going to change this...it is their power chip) in place we could be tied in forever....regardless of the 'temporary' format...if all members of the EU do not agree, then we cannot escape.....which is why Michel Barnier and JCJunker were grinning from ear to ear when TM came away with this 'good deal'
