Iceland and Norway aren’t joining, because they want to control their waters and fishing permits. They still implement all EU regulations not touching those. Switzerland has a weird fetish about being neutral, which currently is just a code word for being the EU’s tax evasion haven. Through agreements with the EU, they too adhere to most EU regulations. And the EU is absolutely attractive to its bigger economies, they get to pull from cheaper labor pools.
I keep hearing this but have problems believing it. Wouldn’t everyone just be so happy it happened that they would be willing to just go back to the way it was?

We can wait until UK is one.
With this kind of crab mentality, it’s going to be a race to the bottom.

The UK won’t get concessions if it rejoins or at least not the same ones it had.
I’d be willing to introduce national backsides to Euro notes so they can put their King’s mug on it.
