People who voted out knew what they were voting for, otherwise you would have to admit that the whole of the remain camp, government, politicians, media, BBC, the EU, banks and other scaremongers plus all of you other remainers really didn't do a good job of explaining it.........the suggestion is embarrassing and a little insulting......

Well obviously not, as the current debate is hard Brexit/soft Brexit, single market/no single market etc.

We have no idea what we will end up with. If we have no idea now, then how did we know then?

I'm really not bothered if it's insulting.

We're leaving. However, the EU and the EEC (which is the EU+ for the sake of the common market) are different things. Surely you know this?

Mate, you literally wouldn't know a fact if it bit you in the backside. Your inconsistent babble doesn't really constitute an argument.

Every time you are challenged, you change subject.

Was it you who said they were 23 or 24 the other day?

You certainly are a credit to someone if so.

This is just showing the Eu that they are playing by their rules. This part of the same article is the important bit....

"Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, the leader of Norway’s Centre party, accused the Norwegian government of dragging its feet in response to the Brexit vote, telling Dagens Næringsliv that Britain was Norway’s biggest export market and it was “very strange” to reject closer dialogue.

Britain accounts for about a quarter of Norway’s exports – principally oil and gas, which account for nearly 90% of the total, and seafood – and about 6% of its imports.

The state secretary, Elsbeth Tronstad, declined to comment on the decision to reject a formal free trade working party but told the paper the two countries would continue to maintain good contacts.

Meetings were scheduled later this month between the foreign minister, Børge Brende, and his UK counterpart, Boris Johnson, and between Vik Aspaker and the Brexit secretary, David Davis, later this month, Tronstad said, with Norway and Britain still aiming to “contribute to reducing uncertainty in business”.

Norway's centre party are not in government and lost votes at the last election, when it got 5.5% of the vote. Trygve Slagsvold Vedum is one of 18 members of Norway's Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. The Centre Party proposed,

'In late 2012 the Centre Party caused controversy in Norway when it emerged that the party had demanded higher import tariffs on meat and hard cheeses to protect Norwegian farmers from foreign competition (when Vedum was Agriculture Minister).[22] This included increased duties of 429% on lamb, 344% on beef, and 277% on all but 14 exempted hard cheeses.[23]

The party is known in Norway for their support of high toll tariffs on foreign cheese and meat, called "toll protection",[24] and their proposal to shoot all wolves in Norway.[25] -Wiki. Not good for UK farmers.

The most important part of the article is that, ' Liam Fox, asked Norway’s trade and industry minster, Monica Mæland, to form a bilateral trade working group at a meeting between the two ministers and their officials on 14 September'. Fox was asking for negotiations to begin before formally invoking Article 50 and 'where it was rejected as likely to jeopardise Norway’s European Economic Area (EEA) agreement and “inappropriate” while Britain was still a full member of the EU'.

Fox was sent packing with his tail between his legs.

Pete, you quickly jump on anyone assuming that 'leavers' are a homogeneous block in a negative sense (ie racist wallies), so at least apply the same rules the other way. There's no way on earth you can say that leave voters en masse knew what they were voting for.

I know we're living in a 'post-truth' world, but cmon.
