    Default Why life is better out of the EU

    Dear Britain, there is life outside the EU
    Iceland, Switzerland and Norway all enjoy the perks of the European market without the burden of the EU. So come on out - the water's lovely



    Europe’s political elites want more Europe not less Europe


    Join us, Britain, in the glorious world of freedom that exists outside the EU, said Thomas Aeschi and Guthlaugur Thor Thordarson. We are members of the parliaments of Switzerland and Iceland, respectively, and both of our countries are thriving as members of the European Free Trade Area. Along with fellow EFTA members Liechtenstein and Norway, we get to “participate in the European market while retaining our self-government.”

    We don’t have to abide by the common agricultural policy, a one-size-fits-all for farmers, or change our criminal justice laws to comply with European Union rules. We can make our own bilateral treaties, including trade pacts, with other countries—and this has come in handy striking deals with China, which the U.K. is not allowed to do. We do pay a contribution to the EU budget, but it’s “less than a third, in per capita terms,” of what the British currently pay. The result is that people in EFTA countries have incomes more than 50 percent higher than the EU average. “Free trade and national sovereignty turn out to make a pretty good combination.”

    Britain was once a leading member of EFTA, before it joined the EU’s predecessor in 1973. It could be again. “Come on in—the water’s lovely.”

    What could happen if Britain left the EU?

    Five Key Issues


    1. TRADE: Best case scenario predictions indicate economic benefit to Britain of 1.1% of GDP, but recent reports suggest a net loss of UK GDP, at least in the short term.

    2. BUSINESS: The CBI (Confederation of British Industry) say businesses may have to comply with EU principles without being able to influence them, but some business leaders predict little change in EU trade especially if the UK negotiates a free trade agreement.

    3. IMMIGRATION: Outside the EU, the UK could implement an Australian-style points system, but EU migrants already in the UK are unlikely to be rounded up and deported.

    4. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT: Expats in Europe and even holidaymakers could face reams of visa paperwork, but the UK might have to accept freedom of movement of EU citizens as a condition of free trade.

    5. RED TAPE: British businesses could be better off without having to comply with EU regulations, but to cut red tape, Parliament would have to repeal all the EU rules that are now law.

    Norway isn't that different outside the EU because they are in the EEC. They are kind of in a faux-EU. So it's a bit kiddy on to say life outside.
