WorKid wrote:I liked the rant too. I do have some leanings towards the view that if we leave the EU, we might as well leave the EU, and do it fully and properly, albeit sensibly and well thought out. Leaving the EU and still being bound to their rules with no voice is in fact a stupid outcome. Edit-unless you think that there's a decent chance we will rejoin in the next decade of course.

Yeah but hilariously Norway actually seem to make it work. Id love to see some key stats for things like taxation rates, life expectancy, literacy, average happiness of citizens, gdp, cost of living, etc. and then compare that shit to what ours is like right now.
People saying Norway is a shit idea surely mean that Norway is shit compared to our current deal, which it is. However that still doesn't explain why Norway appears to be able to be a prosperous nation despite all the OH SO TERRIBLE RULES they have to blindly follow from the EU.

Soft Brexit, we follow the rules, don’t get a say and end up better off because of it. Then rejoin when the Leavers are dead.

You don't get a pat on the back and cup of tea and a biccie for being honest and saying it was a protest vote, or you thought your vote wouldn't matter, or that you were somehow fooled into thinking we were getting our sovereignty back and didn't realise we had shitloads of it to start with.
