While this is true to an extent, they do essentially need us too.
I don't think anyone can accurately predict what is going to happen at the moment, a lot of it is pure doom-mongering from those who are disappointed, which is fair enough, I suppose. When people have calmed down, we'll have to try and make the best of whatever situation we're in.
In theory this could get very ugly on both sides, but I doubt it will. If the EU are going to be very unpleasant about this, it'll make me happy we've left. We have the right to leave, after all. They'll be proving us right.
The Norway model is what we already had, plus the ability to actually have a seat at the decision making table. Norway have to pay their EU fees, get full access to the free market and accept free movement of people but have no say in how the legislation is developed.
In fact going to that from the position we already had is basically conceding the high ground a worse off position. But the perceived notion of sovereignty is back so lets go down the boozer and get runted in celebration of paying a massively high price for something we already had but in an even worse position
They agree to the free movement of goods, capital, services and people between the EU and themselves, so if immigration was a brexit issue thats not going to work is it?

OK maybe I should have rephrased that.
Out of curiosity would any Leavers opt for the Norway model?
Would that be acceptable?

On the plus side it could be very good for the environment of the UK. Us out of the EU so we can't keep blocking and watering down environmental legislation AND we "have" to implement it afterwards. Win Win in that regard.
You'll be pleased to know that Britain does't democratically elect it's PM either. It's done indirectly during General Elections and will soon be done by just a handful of people when Camerons replacement steps up.
Funny really, after all the claiming the EU officials "aren't" elected.
There is no such a thing as EU Official, Merkel, Sarkozy and the other idiot of Juncker.......that Europe for you! Sorry but I preferred when us italians backed Mussolini that these three...big times and that's common in Italy especially after today!
In the whole situation I just ended up liking Putin a lot...
The UK should keep its line in one way or another... France send here Syrian send them back... simple! Funny enough today in 1940 we started to invade France quite succesfully too lol

The vast majority of Leave voters I know thought they were voting to banish the Muslamics from these hallowed shores.
Ask them about anything to do with actual EU membership and their eyes glassed over.
No nobody can accurately predict it.
Again what exactly does doom and gloom posting achieve the vote has been and gone it doesn't make a bit of difference to the result. Surely we should be debunking doom and gloom posts but it hasn't really happened much.
Proving us right isn't going to help the economy though.

I did mention earlier in the day that a lot of leave voters were ill informed!
You're assuming the EU will survive - it wont.
Sounds like a bunch of petty vindictive Germans based on what our resident salty 'experts' are saying.
yes and the future of the country was decided like this. Generations have been impacted because people couldn't be arsed to actually read around what they were actually voting for. Welcome to 21st century britain
Yeah if we have all the regulation, no MEP seats so Farage can't exist in an official capacity and then we just wait for the right to high-blood pressure rage themselves out of existence and get on with things. An EU where we do as we are told and our laughable politicians aren't involved sounds like a good option.
What the heck is going in here now?!
Why is there a picture of a man 'breastfeeding'?
There is only one person that can explain that, and given the history of their posts in this thread I wouldn't hold your breath for it...
That is something i had not considered. That is if we take the Norway route.
The EU will do everything that it has to in order to survive, it has no other option.
Grow up - I already qualified my statement - petty name calling and salt. lots of salt. Salty.

From what university education or expert or political experience did you come to that well informed piece of conclusion?
If you didn't know something as basic as the EU trades in a single bloc then I would step back and just accept you had it wrong all along.
