Rejected petition EU exit must take account of the wishes of the 48% who voted Remain.

The Government must reflect the fact that 48% of voters, 75% of young voters and 62% of Scotts voted Remain by ensuring that, after exit from the EU, the UK immediately becomes a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) in order to retain free access to the single market.

More details

The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) is the organisation under which Norway & Switzerland etc. have free access to the EU single market without being EU members.

As a member, Norway is subject to roughly 21% of EU laws. Members pay a contribution to the EU; it is estimated that the UK would pay 17% less than it does now. EFTA citizens can live and work in EFTA & EU countries, and vice-versa, but welfare and benefits may vary.
