re: Norway, Switzerland, Iceland ... the United Kingdom???

To be honest, I'm a little confused about the coming negotiation mandate they are going to attempt to pass after the next parliamentary elections.

(A) Are they going to be negotiating for more flexibility within the EU system?

or...

(B) Are they going to be negotiating for an alternative system to replace the EU system?


It seems like they are trying to do (A), in which case Cameron & the Conservatives will be trying to orchestrate a "stay in" vote in the 2017 referendum.

Of course, all that is contingent upon the Conservatives winning the next parliamentary elections rather than getting thrown out on their asses by Labour, in which case Cameron might turn around and starting arguing for an "out" vote.

Whatever occurs, the next round of British elections should be interesting.
