Even though it's good for their business (taking our business) I'm not sure EU countries want the red tape for trade that we've signed us and them up to by leaving.
SM requires freedom of movement (much harder for the Brexiteers to accept, even if all that's happened is fewer immigrants from the EU and more from Asia). CU doesn't have FoM but helps move goods (and solves NI?). Why rule it out?
