What the petition asks
Apply to become a member EFTA along with Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, to allow for free trade between the UK and Europe.
Brexit has added unnecessary red tape to the system and has damaged the UK economy. EFTA will allow the UK to trade freely with Europe, without the additional burdens of EU membership. This should boost the British economy and trade and solve the issues relating to the NI protocol and the Brexit deal.
