1.Norway have a better banking system and Tax Free rich haven.
2.Switzerland wealthy better banks & work ethic low customer spending tax free haven.
I know someone will disagree with me but the UK place is in the EU not out.
You don't want a crappy crass TTIP deal.

Yep. Norway is sitting on a shed load of oil for a country that size.
As is Scotland but with very different results. Norway have used it wisely, nationalised the oil industry and set up an oil fund which is worth many billions. Whereas the UK, and under Thatcher in particular when the oil revenues were huge, squandered them to cover the failed economic system monetarism with no strategy to benefit future generations.
and designer watches !
and a death ray!
I think you might find that the crass TTIP deal is something you get regardless of being in or out.
And Blatter.
Although if the reports today are to be believed, the City of London is well on it's way to being Dodgy Money central

Apples and oranges. Greeces problem arent its banks its the budge deficit
Their prosperity is in part due to them being outward looking nations whilst the EU is protectionist and inward looking.
Er, its the EU who are negotiating the TTIP deal..
when they didn't have a LEECH sucking them dry, that is ^_^
they agreed to MOST of the base rulings of the EU anyway, there's not much unique they do outwith the union
Don't see Osborne saying anything against it
"That tool for horses hooves" - B Connelly etc.
Also, neither have been significantly involved in imperialistic endeavours.
How many billions of money has the UK spent fighting wars and meddling in countries all over the place? It's even more embarrassing now, when we're relatively impoverished, listening to Johnny Little-Englander talk as if the empire is still in full swing.
The vast majority of rules which Norway has to adopt do not start life out in the EU. They are devised by international bodies such as Codex and UNECE. The EU's 28 member countries have a single seat on the international bodies' committees whilst Norway has a seat of their own.
The EU represent the interests of all 28 member countries so what may be in the best interests of the UK is ignored or watered down. Norway on the other hand is able to influence regulations before they have even reached the EU for rubber stamping.
You will find a number of EU member countries have in the past asked Norway to speak on the behalf of them at the committee meetings for these international bodies. Norway has more influence in the formation of rules which they later adopt than the UK does currently.
