Honestly, I don’t think any of those would be deal breakers today. Europe is now tougher on external migration (much more in line with the UK), the pound is no longer much more powerful than the euro, and the privacy legislation of both is equally concerning so no issues there beyond the normal.
We’d certainly prefer the stronger EU ruling against “pay or ok” under GDPR, and a lot of UK citizens would appreciate the greater mobility.
I would like to suggest that the EU also demand that Nigel Farage be formally charged for misleading the public, in a European court.

But would the brittish give up the pound?
Yeah, that’s also my biggest question.
Why should they?
@0x0 @Valmond why *shouldn’t* we? I think all our opt-outs (especially £, Schengen) made us feel special and stopped us integrating properly.
'Cos you’ll lose financial sovereignty. Your call though…
