Europe again. Unaccountable and undemocratic. This sums it up.

No, under Erna Solberg they're the 10th highest contributor to the EU Budget.
Care to point to a source as the latest figure I can find is 340m Euros a year in 2013.
It's as supported as yours....
As suspected you've quoted the gross figure. Population of Norway is 5 million people. So this makes their net contribution per head what? And that sits them where?

"Nor is membership of the EEA without costs, she points out. Through it, Norway contributes €340 million a year to the EU"

That's 68 million Euros per head of population net. Which your table doesn't show.

The people will vote and i am very confident the majority will want to stay in the EU. There will be a vocal minority who will rightly challenge and based wrongly on the hope for a simplier era epitomised by the empire and its power, before globalisation and our diminishing importance.

Maybe you should ask why we aren't getting involved in shaping the CAP (and working to abolish it) instead of glibly using this incident as proof that somehow we shouldn't be involved in decision making at all.

Yep, thank God for the EU and those big multi-nationals all based in the EU creating jobs……………..there are no jobs for those outside the EU (the EU protect their own right?).

I know, hence it not true that most of Europe could have been considered to be “allies” of Britain during the conflagration of WW2................our most reliable allies could be found elsewhere around the globe…………..God bless’em.
Franco may have hedged his bets, however he still sent the Blue Division (which included catholic Irish who fought for Franco in the civil war) to help the Germans in Russia, not sure he had sent a Spanish anti-fascist legion to the Allies too?
The next 70 years are not irrelevant, but then history does not stop and start it is just a running story.
As much as many on here would like, the EU has not replaced national interests…………….we may not be countries at war ever again, but national differences are settled in other ways. The weak will be oppressed by the strong………………those in Greece old enough to remember when they were last humiliated are confronting that reality again as they get another cut to their pensions and living standards.
Que…………….”Ode to Joy”.
Are you sure you're an accountant?
