Important to clarify: IIRC that comment was about Norway's EEA membership. The UK is not an EEA member.

Except in areas of fishing and agriculture. Especially fishing they really care about, just like iceland.
That's because the PM's party brokered that half-way deal with EU against the will of the people, after they had voted no to EU for the second time[1].
Not saying some of our export companies aren't enjoying the access to EU, but the people was against it.
