Aah, gotcha. I think I agree, but I'm not 100% sure.
Up until March 2019 we can reverse and stay in.
Once we hit that date, we may well have transitional agreements, but we are no longer members of the EU. So we may well have all sorts of rights (as part of the transitional arrangement), but we aren't a member of the EU or the EEA or anything else.
So joining the EEA doesn't affect our membership of the EU at that point, because we've already left.
Re: other discussion on our liberal prosperousness, I certainly fear for both of those things. The possibility of Independence there is helping me stay somewhat saneish.
