Really? How many have had a referendum on it? Or are you simply guessing -
a common thing with brexiteers. Both france and Germany have had recent
elections. With pro EU parties winning.

Some club when the members have to be held by fear.

There are already countries outside the EU who have a deal with it.
Norway, etc.

It really is simple. If we don't want to be part of the club, walk away.
But we apparently still want to use some of the club facilities. So they

Take your head out of the sand and try working out what the UK would do if
