All and any.....particularly future rulings.
Free trading would be top of the list.
Hopefully we can still trade with Europe as well, beneficial to both sides.

Those bottom 2 we already have now and there is no way in hell we can leave the eu and get the same/better deals as an individual country.

I know that won't change your mind, but I'm just trying to provide some honesty about what's over the horizon.

No rules that you can think of at the moment?

I know it’s not going to be easy, I have never thought differently.
Hopefully we can get back on our feet after a very short period.
I can’t see what good another referendum would do, May’s deal won’t get passed, whatever she comes up with, so I am left with the no deal option.

At this point Brexit is the only viable option that will let the country stop in fighting and move forward. A new ref or revoking article 50 wont solve anything, it will just prolong the agony.

No deal brexit, may be painful, but I would rather peoples energies were focused positively moving forward. May's deal is the best option available that stops all the crap now, followed by no deal. Revoking article 50 will extend this mess for years.

Whatever happens with brexit, the country is going to be divided for years and possibly decades, so expecting people to hop on board and deal with unnecessary pain because you want them to channel it into positivity won't work. I know from reading your posts that you're sincere and try to come from a good place, but it's naive of you to expect people at risk of losing their businesses etc to just get on with it.

The referendum meant that there will be no winners from this sorry mess.

i was listening to someone that was anti brexit last night trying to say how bad it would be trading with a no deal. He quoted tariffs, standards etc. Being in the EU now, we already produce to the correct standards, and tariff wise we would win on some things, lose on others. It's not the end of the world by any imagination. MP's know this. It's all a game to them.
