The Guardian has really lost it in today's leader column. It arguest that Norway is the richest, most equal, least corrupt nation on earth. It continues 'But even Norway's progressive polity has limits'. These limits are 1) a growing anti-immigration party and 2) it's refusal to join the EU. That's right -- Norway's left-wing idyll is marred by it's refusual to join the EU. I always thought joining the EU was a means to an end -- now I realise it is the end itself.
