That will evolve through the 'art of the negotiations'
Before this election and until May has been convinced, by professional advisors no doubt, that to be at all successful we must have a viable walk-away option - there was little or no chance for a good negotiated outcome.
Now there is at least the prospect - but now the negotiations start in earnest and these things are not black and white.
To be fair, speaking for myself, given that a year ago I held little hope of leaving at all, I will be able to accommodate a number of compromises - so long as we do actually leave
My aspirations are tempered by the knowledge of where we were pre 23/06 - acceptance of how difficult these negotiations are going to be and that to get the best long-term outcome we might need to accept some things that are a bit 'unpalatable'.
I have previously said that I would accept us in a deal that saw us part (unnecessarily) with a good lump of money to help the EU in the short-term - so long as it is part of an accommodation that saw us leave with an appropriate trade deal.
A fair deal is better than no deal, but the Libdem's and Labour's policies on Brexit - from a negotiations POV - simply would ensure that we either got no deal or Remained in the EU.
So far so good for me

You might find it a bit easier if you carry on the football themeWe love the club, it's the owners we can't stand...
Consider the EU as a football team that has the following characteristics:
- Full of arrogance and believe that they have a god-given right to do what the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want to
- Has a load of faux supporters lapping up their every word
- Makes up /changes rules as they go along to their benefit
- Ensure that their supporters fill all the top jobs of influence to ensure that they are always favoured
- Act with contempt to your team - and have done so for decades - actively ensuring things go against your team
etc. etc.
Lets just call them the scum and you may be able to get on board with being fully behind our team.
CITY have had some shocking managers - but I stayed committed.

I have said before that this election is not about Brexit. May had all the power she needed to push it through. This is all about keeping a hard right wing Tory party in power. Very clever to make it sound like it is though with all those leaving votes up for grabs and those disaffected Labour voters. Who would have thought?
A NHS that is underfunded, higher taxes and push through all the nasty little employer rights you can think of. Fox hunting et al and she can stay in power for the next 5 years. I am not a Labour man but this Right Wing Tory Party worried me.

This is what you get when the private sector target driven ethos is grafted on to the public sector.....

Who do you think is going to negotiate Brexit? The Dagenham Girl Pipers?
