3/ the winning entry seems to advocate a hybrid of the various models:
4/ see
5/ the prize-winner emphasises repeatedly the importance of rejoining efta:
6/ he describes his 'best case scenario'

10/ Dr North has released various iterations of his plan under different names: [the Norway option/Flexcit/The Market solution] - all involve a phased, sensible brexit based around membership of EFTA and the European Economic Area (EEA) eureferendum.com/themarketsolut…
11/ In addition to the documents we have covered so far, there was also a book by MEP David Campbell-Bannerman, still available on Amazon: amazon.co.uk/Time-Jump-Posi…
12/ this book also advocated a modified version of Efta/EEA
