It is far too much to accept. When only the EU can end the agreement we are in an incredibly weak position forced to either succumb to the demands of all their members or stay in the arrangement sending money, keeping to their rules, doing as they say with no seat at the table.
They will take pound after pound after pound of flesh out of us for decades. Signing this deal would condemn the UK.
Either fully remaining or exiting with no deal would be miles better than this garbage. At least then with remaining we have a full seat at the table and would be in charge of if we left the EU. At this point if they refuse a better deal we should in turn refuse all payments to them and crash out with no deal.

The EU say 'hey you can't do that - we have a piece a paper'
We say 'byeee'
Then what?
We are trapped in the arrangement, sending money and playing by their rules which we dont have a say in deciding, until all of their member states agree we can leave.
