Opinion: What the political storms over the Mueller report and Brexit have in common
By Megan McArdle Megan McArdle Columnist Bio Follow Columnist March 26 at 5:51 PM I am writing this column from Toronto Pearson International Airport, on a layover en route to London. Behind me is the political storm over the long-awaited report from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who appears to have found no evidence that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign entered a secret election-rigging compact with Russia.
Those who acted as though Trump were already under indictment now look foolish and somewhat desperate, which is hardly the image you want to project when you’re trying to convince the public that you’re the sane and sensible alternative to Trump. In looking for the most expeditious way to rectify what they viewed as a catastrophic voter error, the #resistance has made things worse.
The benefit of Norway Plus is that it would minimize disruption, a feat it achieves by not actually changing much. Britain would still have to contribute most of what it does now to the E.U. budget; it would still have to allow immigration from other E.U. countries; and it would still be subject to many E.U. rules, while losing its voice in the European Parliament that makes those rules.
