Didn’t Turkey just backtrack on accepting Sweden into nato as well?

I do. That’s the correct name/spelling in Swedish.

This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

Norway is a rule taker that pays into the EU without any influence. They’re also tiny and they know it. This is said with love from a neighbour who would love to see Norway join the EU.

I don’t think the UKs collective ego would allow them to join on Norway terms.

Yeah, all EFTA members have veto rights towards new members, and you’re pretty much correct but it’s even worse. The UK economy is bigger than all other EFTA countries combined. There’s no way they’d let the UK in.

I think the flag is fine personally. It’s very clear what the community is about.

Still an interesting read for those who bothered to read it. There is also an interesting discussion to be had, because migration is very much needed into all western countries, but a growing part of the public seems to dislike it, hence the rise of the far right in both the US and the EU.

Yeah. The motivation was never money. I was just curious since I heard that you got paid in the US. Apparently I was misinformed.

At least that’s good. Keeps the wrong people from donating. Thanks for your answer.
