• I'm curious, if the Norway style - would that negate the need for the £40 billion (TBC) exit bill? Would it just turn into new rolling contributions?

    Suppose that could be worded as a success if the government so desired... 'we managed to get the bill reduced to zero!'

    It's not an exit bill - it's us agreeing to pay what we'd already committed to, whilst members of the EU. So there was never a way of avoiding paying it - other than walking out on our debts, which would have ruined our ability to raise capital so would have ultimately been unthinkable.

    So no - we'll continue to pay, we just lose any influence over the laws and institutions we're paying for.
