EU referendum in Norway - RESULT!!!!

[Trond Andresen <Trond.Andresen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is 02:00, night in Trondheim, Norway. In spite a slight buzz from
several beers, I am still able to proudly announce that Norway has said
NO to membership in the European Union with 52.6% of the votes!!!  Some
votes remain to be counted, but they are so few that they can't
fundamentally change this result. I have had the exquisite pleasure of
watching the stiff masks of the economic and political elite on TV this
night, trying desperately to hide their defeat.

Norway's NO to the EU is not only good for Norway, it will also send a
very neccessary shock into the Eurpean debate, and be a stimulus to all
those inside EU who are opposed to this bureaucratic and market
liberalist abomination. Our NO gives hope to those who oppose the so-called
"inevitable globalization process", and tells that it is perfectly
possible to be modern, have extensive foreign trade, be active in
international foreign policy, and still remain a small and sovereign
nation state. Whopeeee!

More tomorrow, now goodnight...

Trond
