I have heard on the radio more than once that legally we could remain
inside the EFTA but still leave the EU since the former was a seperate
agreement.
EFTA is Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Down in the
noise level.
Membership of EFTA requires remaining in the SM with FoM
So not really a Brexit at all.
well no
You know you don't have to tell me that ;-)
with Liechtenstein, (presumably due to it insignificant size) having an
exemption
And most informed opinion says Norway would veto us joining.
Why?
It doesn't do anything as "a block" that our size would dominate
Allegedly Norway thinks we would (dominate).
If we only get one vote, how?
That we export 10 times more to the rest of the world then they do may
affect them adversely, is irrelevant
We are going to be exporting 10 times more whether we are in their little
club or not
