norway and the eu

[piccadilly]

Will Norway ever join the EU, or will it always reject it?

[Artful]

Only time will tell, but I think for the moment it is not on the cards. Interest is more on Bulgaria and - oh, drat, where? Hungary, I believe.

[bernardo]

Hungary?  Hungary is already in the EU.  Norway will not join because it will never be in Norway's interests to join.  The EU will collapse eventually anyway, like the USSR did.

[Artful]

Excuse me, bernardo.

No-one ever told you that NEVER is a big word?
And pray tell, why is the EU likely to collapse - but even if it did there would be no simalarity to the collapse of the USSR - thank goodness.

This question reminds me of someone I read about with some sort of brain disorder. He'd have answered this question "yes".
i.e. Yes, Norway will either join the EU or they'll reject it.

Now wasn't that interesting.

[bernardo]

Because the EU is corrupt, inefficient, wasteful, undemocratic, unaccountable, bloated, bureaucratic, dictatorial, and contrary to the normal and natural aspirations of the people and nations of Europe, and is ever becoming increasingly so.  And when it happens, I believe that its collapse will be similar to that of the USSR.

[Artful]

Well, bernardo, for clarification, that is certainly clarification. Thanks for taking the time even if I don't completely agree with you.

yeah, apparently the EU costs me �3 a week. Nearly. Outrageous! No wonder the Norwegians want nothing to do with it, that's nearly the price of a drop of alcohol there.

Surely guys the EU must have ome advantages such as free trade goods and movement of people and goods. There has alos benn peace in Europe for the past 61 odd years surely it has helped do that. It is too bureaucratic and can seem to be pryinginto natinal affairs but that can be cahged isnt that better than constantly being at war and paying sky high prices for goods and cartels.
