A "Norway" type deal is a nonsense. Norway pay quite a lot to the EU. They do this because they sell an awful lot of oil and oil products to the EU, whilst buying a lot less. They effectively rent a barrow in the EU market. We on the other hand buy a lot more than we sell. To compare the position of the UK to that of Norway is like comparing an apple to an elephant.
