@verystripeyzebra That deal only applied to the transit of few kind of goods between GB and NI.
A "Swiss style deal" in the terms that are sold to the public nowadays is another unicorn.
Nont only Switzerland is a rule taker, pays for the access to the Single Market, and accepts the jurisdiction of the ECJ, but between Switzerland and the EU there is freedom of movement for the people, and there is an open issue between EU and Switzerland exactly because, to EU, "freedom of movement" means "for EU citizens", without limitations, while, for the Swiss means "of the employees", so it only applies to who has a job (with the EU citizens that can't be discriminated in favour of the Swiss), or is wealty enough to mantain himself in the Confederation.
It's OBVIOUS than, in an eventual negotiation with UK, the matter would be very clearly defined the EU way.
So, four freedoms. No escapes.
In reality, "a Swiss style agreement" is an oxymoron. The relationships between Switzerland and EU are the result of the sedimentation of decades of different agreements.
A single agreement would be different, and much more organic and without loopholes, exactly because it would be a single agreement.
