Indeed. Its a method to hollow out Brexit while keeping the empty hull of the word. It steals the meaning of the term. The UK would not be allowed to negotiate trade agreement with non-EU states. That is a frontal collision with the very idea of Brexit: to be no longer regulated and limited by restrictions Brussels claims to be its own thing only. How could any Brexit ever work if the ZUK is not free to try to get new trade arrangements? Its impossible - and thats why certain people want it.
