NO means: NO

55,6 %. Despite continuous demands for a renewed EU debate (read: a 3^rd referendum) from the pro-unionists and an enlarged Union: the people of Norway reject the so called European project with an even larger margin. A no means mostly, unless you are a part of the electorate of a member state within the union, NO. And, in the Norwegian case, this has been the opinion of a majority of the people since 2005. Why can’t this fact sink in within the ranks of the Labour Party and the Conservatives, bury this decade long feud and work with the parliamentary Union-sceptic minority within the framework of EFTA? This situation, where a majority of the party elites continues neglecting our legal veto right; continues the pressure to amend the constitution on the majority needed to cede sovereignty and the use of the party whip to implement any new EU directive is bloody useless. It’s just another reason to have contempt for Labour, Conservatives, Liberals (partly) and (just another reason) the Progressives. This is a serious democratic problem, and if the government don’t trust its own people when we voted against this in ’72 and ‘94, why should we trust them, if (may God forbid) we enter the Union, and they are the people to represent us? Why should Conservatives or Labour do a better job in Brussels facing the Union leadership on the other side of the table, if they are so damn afraid of disappointing them outside the Union? This is probably not the Zero Hour of the EU debate in Norway, but, and I hope, even though we during the next months risks to tarnish our postal system and put all our citizens under surveillance because some middle aged, suite dressed men in Brussels demanded it: this struggle should prove that it is people might make right, not the might of the resources held by 30,6 % on the top of the social hierarchy.
