要点是基于欧洲经济区模式的新关系允许英国在容忍人口自由流动的前提下保留欧洲关税同盟和统一市场的绝大部分好处，这不仅比硬脱欧带来的经济痛苦要小；而且还能够获得绝大部分选民的支持。
The upshot is that a new relationship based on the EEA model, allowing Britain to keep most of the benefits of the EU customs union and single market alongside free movement of people, would not only be economically less painful than a hard Brexit; it would also be supported by a large majority of voters.
