There were several very good reasons for not entering the EU for Norway. Thatcher in the UK demanded access to ALL our fish and minerals. Even now, many of us Norwegians dislike the English for their demands on our resources at that time! The main reason for Norway NOT entering the EU is the UK! So when UKistan left the EU we laughed very loudly!
Norwegians voted no to the EU two times and was forced into the EEA agreement right after our second no. A few years ago the goverment signed EU Acer energy deal even if at lest 90% of the people were against it in the pols. They energy prices sky rocketed even if we had been promised it would max go up 3% , how about 1000%, and it ends up in private peoples hands!!! We don't even get to vote in the EU , yet we agree to basically every thing they make up.
ACER does not deside price or make us loose control over norwegian power. Read abit about what ACER do. They help make the countries trade power under same rules... you get higher ptices because greedy government and power producers who sell power when we should save because we have low magasines.
@@arcticblue248 yes it did, and its the *socialists" running country who are to blame for the lobbying and corruption what ever the case is . I am aware that private companys are making money from it but only those who are allowed. Same goes for the big money fishing. Should be a free market og government controlled , nothing in between.
@@arcticblue248 That's not how ACER works. It's much, much simpler than that. It's a balancing act: If the electricity is cheaper at one end of the pipe, seep electricity through it until the price is balanced at both ends. And it will be, if the pipe is large enough: The price will go up in the transmitting end because of the diminished availability. That's all there is to it. ACER is designed simply to balance the cost of electricity, and the only reason there are differences between countries at all is due to limited capacity which chokes off the supply at some point. But, despite the above (excellently explained and described in proper engineering articles), many politicians still claim that ACER is there in order to be able to sell superfluous energy to other countries. Which isn't what it is about at all, instead what happens is that e.g. Norway is forced to produce (and transport out) way too much electricity when the hydro magazines are full (i.e. summer), thus lower prices, and then when winter comes there's not enough left and electricity has to be imported at high, sometimes astronomical prices. It's totally crazy.
Near the beginning you say "Obviously, I'm from the UK...", but until you got to that, I was seriously wondering whether you were yourself a Norwegian who had learned English in Scotland. But coming from as far south in the British Isles as is possible before they turn into France, everybody north of Middlesbrough sounds to me like they're talking some variety of Scandinavian anyway. Of course Norwegians make good comedy! Where do you think the British got our sense of humour from in the first place? And the Nordmenn had already had centuries of practice making fun of the Swedes (som å skyte fisk i en tønne) before paying us their first "friendly visit". It shows some _frekkhet_ to take on Brexit as a topic, though, given that the Norwegians themselves have repeatedly and consistently voted not to join the EU in the first place, and only grudgingly accepted inclusion in the EEA Agreement. For full disclosure, I should tell you that _petretepner_ is a pseudonym, and my real birth name is Peter Norman, but heaven forfend you should suspect that I am in any way "ancestrally prejudiced" in this matter!
The UK is made of 4 countries, of which Scotland is one, and has only 8% of the UK population. England makes up 85% of the UKs population and voted out in the majority
I get the percentage thing in uk. My point was the timing rather. Scotland had their own independence referendum in 2014. And deceided to stay. Two years later britain had the brexit vote. My point is that had the scots known that a vote for scotland to remain ment a vote for brexit, I would like to believe that the scots would have voted for : Freedom!» ( sorry, couldn’t resist) the scotish national party is the second biggest in scotland last time I checked. And what makes me an expert in scotish politics? Ten years of travelling the scotish countryside to visit over 40 distilleries. 😂 love from Norway
@@vadlasletta Well it depends on your idea of freedom. The Scots have a strong feeling that power in the UK acts too much in the interest of wealthy English people. Actually, very much like the type of person that appears in the little comedy skit we are commenting on. Many Scots don't want to be part of a union that doesn't work for them, which the UK doesn't and the EU demonstrably did. The comedy skit seems to suggest that the rich wanted out of the EU and the "average" voter wanted to vote for "freedom" from the tyrannical EU. This is not the case. The push to leave the EU came from rich neoliberal business interests that wanted to remove EU laws on tax and business regulation. Those interests funded a misinformation campaign to fool people to vote against their own internet. As a Norwegian you may well not understand what it's like to have been inside the EU and to then leave it. The difference is stark though, it has been a highly anticipated disaster. There are no upsides and terrible downsides. Especially hard hitting to the poorest. The EU mandates a lower limit of corporation tax and V.A.T. for its members. Right wing economists would much prefer that all business taxes are lowered further in the UK than they are allowed to be. Outside the EU they now can be. Finally, if the Scots got to vote for independence tomorrow they would vote out of the UK. The following day they would begin the process of joining the EU again
@@mattygroves21478 That's a good observation, but don't forget how dead set EU Member States are against independentist movements within their own countries. To recognize Scotland as an independent country from the UK might well be seen as setting a dangerous precedent for Catalan/Basque/Canarian/Breton etc ambitions.
@@petretepner8027 I see what you're saying, though Scotland is a country in its own right presently, Catalonia and Pais Basco are not. I suppose it's worth thinking about Northern Ireland in this circumstance. It will certainly leave the UK very soon, though it'll immediately gain EU membership rather than having to apply for it.... on account of the Ireland already being a member..
@@PhilK114 It will be a very long time indeed before any new application from _la perfide Albion_ to join the EU will be regarded with favour by its members. Sad to say (because in general, I am not a fan), for once Charles de Gaulle was right.
As a Norwegian I am quite annoyed that the democratic vote of the electorate of the UK is being mocked this way. We are a nation that is "not a member" of the EU but we still are through a back door called the EEC which was never voted over in Norway. We have voted no to EU membership twice but still we "have" to adopt most of their laws. Nobody here is against partnership or cooperation, but why do we have to be subject to this kind of bully tactics where we have to do everything Brussel says and they don't care what voters in Norway thinks? As long as the EU behaves like this I applaud the Brexit. I wish the EU was more democratic in its form but it is not and it seems unreformable. Some people will say the EU is democratic cause you elect the EU parliament ever so often but it is not so. The EU Parliament don't have any real power except voting yes or no to any laws coming from the EU Commission and those are the ones with the real power and they are not elected by anyone, they are appointed by state leaders from each country. That is NOT democracy ladies and gentlemen. I would like to have great cooperation between our good nations, but not in this model. If you haven't noticed yet, far right political parties are having a very good time during recent elections. Is it time for some political parties to take a look in the mirror and realize what they are doing wrong before it all turns to chaos?!

Not unsurprising that satire, from a country that's outside the EU, would misrerepresent the British aristocracy as being in favour of remain. The opposite was the case. Furthermore, the bumbling around to find the words to justify leaving is what leave voters are doing to this very day, not remainers.
With the UK leaving the EU it was always going to be an uncertain transition, as a Dane I was very much against it and our firm ended up moving to France which annoyed me greatly, I did like my trips to Brighton. The transition period was extremely important as it´s vital to get a good foundation going, to pass the initial hurdles, then came covid and pretty much f..... everyone but I think it hurt Brexit the most for various reasons. The covid aftermath wasn´t easy to deal with either for the UK due to incompetence from certain British leaders.

@@AurioDK I worked in finance for a large haulage company that dealt mainly within the wind energy sector, until last year. I ran both the UK and the Irish office. The stress and hassle that Brexit brought our company, and all of the companies we worked with was unreal. After 6 years of preparing for and dealing with Brexit consequences I resigned. Here's just one example; We used multiple 7metre containers full of expensive tooling for wind turbine repair jobs. Each container would be valued at about €70000.
