So, hard exit and then negotiations with EU, eh? And in this way any nation can not veto anything?
Idiot.
Stronger to negotiate from outside where EU want a deal than in no mans land where EU can continue happily forever.
The only way to get a 'good deal' from the EU is either to be fully in (with power of veto and ability to drive for change of the EU project) or fully out where UK is free to make trade deals anywhere in the world and not beholden to EU.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Agreed. That's called "negotiation", something that the UK government are woeful at, and then the red tops spin it as a "veto" instead of what it really is - other countries holding better cards than us.
Any future agreement with any country can be "vetoed" by that country. We have something that Spain, France, Greece want then we need to negotiate. We have something that India, Australia, USA, etc want (less visa restrictions, etc) then we need to negotiate.
The UK will be free to make trade deals, but that doesn't mean that the other countries are not going to negotiate hard and, if they don't feel that the deal is acceptable, say "I'm out". I.e. veto it.
