Brexit deal in Labour manifesto looks like Norway +++, with economic disruption kept to absolute minimum. Which means in the 2nd referendum the big debate would be whether there's much point in being outside the EU but inside its rule book, without a say on those rules
That means Labour's Brexit negotiators would have to do a lot of work on beefing up the consultation process for UK, which presumably would be inside single market and customs union but not sit at European Council. A furrow not ploughed particularly deeply by the UK (yet)
You would likely end up with a parliamentary delegation of UK MPs to the EU, as Norway has. If any better than that, other EEA/Efta states (Iceland, Liechtenstein) would want the same. So there may not be much leverage over EU decisions that the UK doesn't like
But if Labour secured a consultation mechanism that was a lot stronger than just lobbying from outside the room, well, that would have very interesting implications for how the EU makes decisions in future. Would it open door to inner and outer rings of decision makers?
