As Old Greg points out, the UK government can unilaterally exit the EU at any time it wants simply by passing an act of parliament, unlike the 2 year exit clause there would be no international agreement in place so it would cause havoc, but it can be done.
Part of that agreement states that EFTA countries have the legal right to unilaterally to take action if “serious economic, societal or environmental difficulties of a sectoral or regional nature arise and are liable to persist” as a result of excessive migration.
While the 'safeguard measures' are in place EFTA-EU trade continues.Comment
