There are plenty of signs that Brexiteers want a hard Brexit and to leave the single market completely (HERE for example) so that we have total control over our borders.
But a ECB policymaker Jens Weideman (and others) are warning we will lose passporting rights if we leave the EEA (HERE).
The stakes are huge. Brexiteers are betting everything on the EU conceding London's leading position in finance and continuing to allow global banks to work across the EU while not being in the EU. I think this might be a miscalculation and it may just be the beginning of London's decline. Frankfurt has wanted to overtake London for years and Brexit is a golden opportunity.
