Sure but UK would still have to make EU contributions and then without influence or veto on new EU rules which might not go well for some Brexiteers.

For me EEA would be a great solution.

EU member countries have to apply for EEA membership but they are not automatically accepted, as an example Croatia had to negotiate for with Norway six months before acceptance.

If EEA acceptance is not automatic for EU members then it is hard to argue that leaving EEA is automatic?
