We the undersigned pledge our support for the United Kingdom remaining a part of the EEA, which includes the EU alongside Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. We pledge our support for rejoining the European Free Trade Agreement, which we established in 1960 and led until 1973. EEA member countries outside the EU participate in its single market but can also negotiate trade agreements freely and independently. We the British people would also continue to have de facto European Union citizenship.
