Why, you cry, why is it the best possible news that Corbyn refuses to support the Norway . . . "model" as you call it.?

Gather round . . .

First of all, Norway is not a "model" except in your head. Norway has a peculiar arrangement with Europe brought on through a peculiar mixture of belligerence and stubbornness.

Now try to understand something. "Leaving the European Union" is not like some meaningless ideology like a religious text.
It's not like a devotion.

What I mean is, there are REASONS why people want to leave the European Union.

And if you don't satisfy those reasons in leaving, then people will not accept the legitimacy of what you have done, even if you can justify it on a technicality.

"never said EFTA. Nur nur."

And I really wish you would all grow up. You keep looking for technicalities. For excuses. Honestly, I don't know how you can live in a mentality like that.

Anyway, stop bitching about Jeremy Corbyn. He's a fanatic. I told you this at the very beginning. he's not going to change his mind for you or anyone else.

Corbyn is against the EU for the same reasons he would be against EFTA. It's not the mixture of letters in their name that he doesn't like. It's what those organisations are that he doesn't like.

The problem is people are still waiting for someone involved in Brexit to change their mind. And it's not going to fuckin happen.

Jeremy Corbyn is not going to change his mind. Not for you, not for anyone. And Theresa May is not going to change hers.

You don't need to change people's mind, you need to change the people.

Brexit is jammed solid everywhere. Ireland. Scotland. The Commons. The Lords. The government. The opposition. And your Brexit negotiations are going nowhere.

I told you that long ago that you were driving down a dead end, but you would insist.
Well, EFTA isn't going to get you out of this.

The only way you're getting out of the mess you've got into now is by removing one of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn from their job.
That is the way out. That is the only way out.
