Burmey - FoM and the Norway option

"The EEA freedom is limited to free movement of workers. Free of the Charter of Fundamental Rights we could limit free movement to workers and refuse entry to dependents on people who are not economically active.

More importantly, despite the apparent uncompromising position of Commission officials and some European leaders; the EU has been quite willing to negotiate with EFTA/EEA states on freedom of movement. With Liechtenstein a precedent has been set whereby via Article 112 of the EEA Agreement it has eventually moved towards a quota system. This proves that it is possible to manage immigration within the EEA."

Norway? Liechtenstein? These are in essence vassal states of the EU, m. These are not meaningful political models that apply to this country. This country is no longer interested in going cap in hand to Brussels begging for ‘concessions’.

By accepting the idea that we are no more powerful or important than Norway or Liechtenstein, you are, essentially, buying into the gaslighting of the abusive partner that is the EU. They’ve told you you’re worthless and subservient so may times, you’ve come to believe it.

Pull your fùcking self together, you spineless worm.

Nah, I think you're doing the gas-lighting by peddling the myth that we'd be reduced to a vassal state, because you don't want to give up any ground to Remainers. From what I've learned about EFTA membership, it's simply not true. Or at least it doesn't need to be.

If it were true, I'd be as against the idea as you.

Pete North (who wrote that) is simply a limp-wristed leaver who understood the intellectual and constitutional case for leaving, but fears putting his money where his mouth is. He’s a weak sister.
