In fact I am quite sure that if the UK did leave the EU
the UK government would enter into an agreement
identical to that of Norway and Switzerland.
It would be insanity not to.

It would be insanity to do so.

Are the Norwegians and Swiss insane?

No, they are simply small.

But have as big a vote in the UN as say the United States or China
does...

That's a lie with the US which is a permanent member of
the security council and irrelevant to why they chose to
agree to what they did agree to to be part of the EEA etc.

Straw man, The security council is not the UN, its a particular
committee within it.

It is in fact where the most important decisions in the UN
are made,

No, it isn't. Another bare faced lie.

so your original is just another bare faced lie.

The reality as uyou well know is that te UN is run by and for the
benefit of banana republics and small nations like Norway,

Like hell it is with the most important stuff it does.
By your narrow and unique definition of 'important' selected to make
your case appear valid...

not for the larger trading nations like India China, the USA etc who
largely ignore it when it suits them.

Irrelevant to your bare faced lie.

So you say, so you say, but bring no evidence to bear on the matter...
