I think we know! Why is it so rare for most of the economies of the world to run in the black?

That is one of the most tenuous links I have ever seen -so tenuous in fact, as to be non-existent.
If you want to create a debate about why Norway declines to join the Euro, thats fine, but using this story as some sort of relevant link is just absurd. How about finding a story that actually illustrates the questions over benefits or otherwise of EU membership?
And, for the record - Are you attempting to claim that the reason that the UK does not have a sovereign wealth fund is somehow connected to our membership of the EU?

To attempt to suggest that the only reason that Norway have a sovereign wealth fund is entirely down to the fact that they are not a member of the EU is utterly facile,even for you, 3T.
I ask you again - are you trying to claim that the existence of a sovereign wealth fund is purely down to their lack of EU membership, or the fact that the UK does not have one purely down to their membership fee? Ludicrous...

And that's what we're saying is nonsense
Norway has huge natural advantages - although not getting involved in dodgy banking deals by the red braces brigade has doubtlessly helped them too
Iceland'd not in the EU and their bankers seem to have stuffed them right up!
They're applying to join but are wavering right now on fishing rights
If it's such a no brainer as you suggest - I can't see why so many people want to join
Either the world is full of soverign sates wanting to cut their own throats or your wrong in your assessment

"More to do with having only 5 million people..."
But Jake, you keep telling us that the only way for the UK to prosper is to import more and more people (the only way to provide labour for vital services and industries, the only way to fund pensions, etc. - I'm sure you must remember). I don't understand. If Norway is prospering because it has so few people, how is the key to our prosperity to have an ever increasing population?
