      Now it would mean no rebate and no special rights.

      The UK had the best fucking position in the EU and conservatives fucked it all up, because it makes (russian) billionaires richer.

        Yep. GRU / FSB propaganda scored a huge run of hits. Still very popular even.

      Only if the UK wanted to fully rejoin the EU. Countries can join the European Economic Area without joining the EU, like Norway and Iceland did for example - the downside being they are bound by rules they don’t have a right to vote on, even if in practice the EU always consults them.

        They EFTA countries already stated they don’t want the UK in there because it is too large and would basically ruin any influence the smaller nations have.

        Wasn’t that how the Brits felt about the situation from the start? That they had no say in their own laws. Seems perfect for them.
