Norway was fed similar lies and scaremongering about economic disaster, being isolated and so on if they didn't vote to be in the EU in '94. That was a load of bull.
Norway also have very high expenditure on Social protection - paid for by their oil reserves.
I'm sure if we matched Norway's proportionate spending on Social protection, then any adverse economic effects would be negated. Somehow I can't see the Tories doing this.
I can see consumer prices rising to Norway levels in the event of Brexit though. Not sure I have confidence wages will rise in sync.
And Anders Breivik was from Norway - so the whole Far-Right "Immergrents/Moose Limbs/Forrin Baddie" discourse doesn't go away outside the EU.
