By now it would also mean adopting the Euro.

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.

That's what the papers peddled, yeah

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I didn't mean what people actually felt.

I'd go for that and Schengen just to make future fuckery even more difficult.

Honestly, I wished we were part of Schengen before we left. it's great!
