The Brexit negotiations need to result in an end position of unilateral free trade

RUTH Davidson is either confused or is deliberately obfuscating on Brexit (“Scottish Tories ready to flex their muscles”, The Herald June 12). Weekend reports had her demanding an "open Brexit" that prioritises free trade over limiting immigration, but, alternatively, having access as now to the single market and staying out of the Common Fisheries Policy (the "Norway model"). These two positions are contradictory because the EU is designed solely to be a protectionist bloc.
