    No Norway Plus option then...

    I think I pointed out some time ago that the Norway option wouldn't swing: Norwegian politicians reject UK's Norway Plus Brexit plan | Politics | The Guardian

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

    Perhaps we could have a new kind of arrangement, where we pay a relatively small amount to be a member state, have a say in all the rules, negotiate all sorts of opt-outs and a big rebate, and not be part of Schengen and the Euro. We could call it "EU plus plus".

          Look at it from the perspective of EFTA member countries. The problem is that the Cretin++ Brexiteer population would outnumber the entire current EFTA population.

            EEA+ isn't that the same as EU?

              The same as EU, but without any seat at the table to influence rules.

              Crucially, though, it means that we will have left the EU and will no longer be a member state, thus fulfilling the Brexit vote.

                Not entirely correct that it fulfils the Brexit vote.

                EEA means
                The European Economic Area (EEA) is the area in which the Agreement on the EEA provides for the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital within the European Single Market, including the freedom to choose residence in any country within this area

                Therefore one of the key elements of Brexit, as stated by T. May, is control of our borders and the removal of free movement of people, is not fulfilled by being in the EEA and therefore it does not fulfil the Brexit vote.

                  Did you read the ballot paper?

                    Yes and as you are so well informed could you please articulate what each of the options meant.
