Leave campaigners now say that leaving the EU must mean leaving the Single Market but that is not what they used to say.
Watch the video prepared by Open Britain here.
Daniel Hannan: “Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market”
Norway are in the Single Market, but not in the European Union.
Nigel Farage: “Wouldn’t it be terrible if we were like Norway and Switzerland? Really?”
Daniel Hannan: “Outstandingly Norway.”
Nigel Farage: “They’re rich.”
Owen Paterson: “Because only a madman would actually leave the Single Market.”
Nigel Farage: “They’re happy.”
Luke Johnson: “We have a great independent future just as countries like Norway and Switzerland enjoy.”
Nigel Farage: “They’re self-governing.”
Daniel Hannan: “Norway, Switzerland, all these countries have complete free trade within the EU, and by the way I can’t help noticing that they’re doing pretty well.”
Nigel Farage: “And people say, ‘well actually, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland do pretty well.’”
Matthew Elliott: “The Norwegian option, the EEA option, I think that it might be initially attractive. Some business people.”
Nigel Farage: “You know, the Norwegians have no ties in terms of foreign policy with the European Union, no ties in terms of their fishing industry where they have a 200 mile limit. They are opted out and exempted from all the things that really make the British mad.”
Arron Banks: “Increasingly the Norway option looks the best for the UK.”
Nigel Farage: “We’ll find ourselves part of their European Economic Area, and with a free trade deal.”
Daniel Hannan: “But, to repeat, absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market.”
Let’s not pretend there is a mandate to leave the Single Market
