The hard thing about EEA is that you are effectively giving up more sovereignty than with full EU membership: You still have to follow most EU rules, but you give up your seat at the table when they're decided.
Might be a hard sell.
- cromka 6mo agoYeah, but you get free access to the EU market. That's the sell.
- vrganj 6mo agoSure, but at that point why not shoot for full membership and be a rule-maker instead of a rule-taker?
- cromka 6mo agoBecause that's an even harder sell. You typically need a referendum to access EU, but for EEA you typically don't. This alone, in the era of social media, makes it super hard.
