If the UK did the same we would have to implement the rules with no say of what they are, and continue to pay our dues without a say over how much. I somehow don't think rabid anti-European Tory backbenchers would be keen on that arrangement!

The Eurosceptic lie
The Eurosceptics claim the UK could be like Norway, which is not a member of the EU but has access to the single market. What they don't tell you is (a) that Norway is a liberal social welfare state where people pay higher taxes in return for greater social benefits of all kinds, and (b) that in order to get its access, Norway has to obey EU rules and pay into the EU budget.
If the UK did the same we would have to implement the rules with no say of what they are, and continue to pay our dues without a say over how much. I somehow don't think rabid anti-European Tory backbenchers would be keen on that arrangement!
