Incidentally I voted remain but I can be objective

Objectivity is one of the things that makes you shine!

I don't really see the cake and eat it argument. We signed up once for a single market. Maastricht changed the whole thing and the people in the UK were never consulted. It had to be forced through parliament via dodgy dealings. I don't see a problem with elements of the UK wishing to have an agreement inclusive of what they actually agreed to while rejecting the political union forced upon them.

With regard the request to safeguard UK and EU citizens rights and put minds at rest. The PM is taking the moral high ground here and Merkel is looking like a dictator of Europe.
