Lol, I'm sure you're joking but if you're serious I'd love to see a link.

Norway has had a close referendum result similar to the UK's. (1994: 52.2% no, 47.8% yes). So it has retained its half-way house with the aim of keeping the whole country unified. This has worked economically but apparently there would be a strong majority not to join the EU if there was another vote.

Presumably, those jobs are paid on a supply and demand basis.

Agreed. The City is not keen on the Norway model as we wouldn't have input on financial services regulation, a key sector for us.
