We are more likely to
travel to that promised land by first clarifying our vocabulary and then using
words with care. The phrase ‘single market’ has misled Britain’s politicians for
over 30 years. We do not want ‘the
single market’, with its inescapable accompaniment of the loathsome acquis commaunitaire,
inside the European Union; we want free trade with our European neighbours from
outside the EU.
