Yes and no. You can't compare Britain with Greece. Britain is gaining from the EU while Greece is not. Greece became part of Euro, and Euro being an expensive currency for Greece and its needs lead Greece into chaos. Britain is not a part of Euro and will never exchange £ for it. As for Norway and Switzerland, well Switzerland's economy was always good, too much money being laundered there. Norway and the other Scandi countries do have a better way of living, in EU or not. So I do get your point, and its fair to an extend but you can't compare oranges and apples. I personally believe (have the right to vote in the UK) that Britain is gaining much more from being a member of the EU than losing. Same goes for countries like Germany. Now could you even imagine Germany getting out of the EU... Germany profited by the EU (same as the UK since London became the hub of finance between EU and the world).
