Closed The UK should rejoin the European Free Trade Association as soon as possible.

Closed on

It is in the best interest of the UK to continue to have free trade with Europe, and it is important for our economy to have a smooth transition when leaving the EU. Rejoining EFTA would allow this. It would help to reunite Leave and Remain supporters and reduce the risk of a breakup of the UK.
