Norway has their access via the EEA. The UK wouldn’t fit in the EEA.

They would be like a bull in a china shop among the far smaller EEA members.

It really should be EU membership (no opt outs) or the status quo. The EU holds all the cards. We should never accept a deal that doesn’t favour the EU.

I support private ownership, but today proves no one should have that kind of money. The natural resources of a country should benefit the country. Which didn't work out well for Venezuela and others I know, but does for Norway. We need laws to prevent monopolies of money and power.

Norway recently bought five, they are delivered. The UK has bought nine.

Both Norway and Switzerland have had to commit, the UK won’t (entitlement etc.).

Also the EU has zero interest in repeating the Swiss deal (multiple mini deals) with anyone else (the EU doesn’t even like this deal with the Swiss). It would take centuries to negotiate something like that with the UK

That's the same line my north Norway granny (born 1906) taught me.

Is Europe ready to pull the trigger?
We can dump united states treasuries and cripple united states economy. If you want war, you'll be surprised what Europe is capable of. Together with a new alliance.
No usa
No russia
No china
The world is sick of your arrogance, exceptionalism and evangelicals

I have about 150 DNA matches in Norway. Some are clearly Lithuanian ex- pats.

Threatens all these countries with hot air, just like Putin. Attacks Greenland then he is attacking Canada, Finland, Norway, Germany, the U.K., Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Turkey, Poland, France, Denmark, Lithuania, Estonia, Greece and more

I hope not.
But for sure it starts with those economy-centric steps now. Prove we understood the economic value of being close to the EU.

I look at Norway or Switzerland, in terms of seamless access to the market.

Norway Just Reached 96% Electric Car Sales and Gas Is Basically Over
Norway closed 2025 with 96% of new cars fully electric, a record that gave Tesla its best year yet there and turned combustion models into statistical outliers.

But there have been many good alternatives to Tesla for many years.
Tesla sales are down everywhere in Europe except in Norway.

The Norwegian wealth fund also owns 1% of all Tesla shares. It doesn't fit the very nice picture of Norway.

Two complaints about Norway. The rest is 100%.

One has to respect national integrity, if not the world will end during the next century.

I live in a small country, we have no chance to defend ourselves against the US if they decide that they will charge our PM for a made up reason, and extract him with a goal to make Norway a Fascist country.

Its why I wanted to get back home to Norway...we always get invaded.

The electric vehicle boom in Norway is, in part, a result of high taxes. New vehicles are taxed at 25%, but new #ev at 0%. Registration fees are waved, as are (were?) city tolls, and often there is free EV parking. Plus there are income tax deductions for EV.

Businesses, on the other hand […]
