Dominic Cummings' (Vote Leave) claim that leaving the EU would enable us
to get a 'Free Trade Deal' without EU directives demonstrates his
naivety. The only Free Trade deal on offer is to join Norway, Iceland
and Lichtenstein in the European Economic Area (EEA). EEA members are
required to abide by EU Directives, but due to the inferior rights
offered by the EAA system, they have no say in what they are.
Switzerland is neither a member of the EU or the EEA, but has to abide
by the EU rules that govern the Single Market. In effect Cummings' 'Vote
to Leave' position would remove all influence the UK has over EU
Directives, but we would still be obliged to accept them to trade within
the Single Market.

He has now announced that a vote to leave the EU is the only way to stay in a 'reformed' EU - maybe he is just confused.
