God help me as it's another Brexit thread - however I'm hoping the subject matter is justified in me bringing this up (and I can't see anything else on this subject).

This "Norway model" that is postulated as a way forwards - according to many it's a bit rubbish; they still have to pay pretty well the same amount to access the EU markets, submit to free movement of people etc but have no say in EU affairs.

What's the advantage of it then? It looks a bit pants; why don't they just join the EU?

Some really interesting stuff in here - thanks chaps.
Nice that it's not descended into some slanging match too.
