Referendum to decide if UK should remain in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Leaving the EEA was not the subject of the referendum. The UK is a contracting party of the European Economic Area Agreement of 1994 in its own right, as is the EU. The UK leaving the EEA would be an additional step, requiring a further democratic mandate, which the referendum did not itself supply
The Single Market Justice campaign will argue that because Britain joined the EEA separately from joining the EU, with a law in Parliament, it also has to leave the EEA with another law passed by MPs. Allow the people to have their say first!
