The EU vote in Norway almost 30 years ago was very, very different from the British Brexit affair. Luckily for us Norwegians, we didn't suffer from anyone like Mark Francois, for example.

Of course you could say that Brexit has nothing to do with British culture.

The point is that European culture is not linked to the European Union.

I'd say they're linked insofar as the European Union was created by and continues to evolve through European culture.

It was driven by the same core concerns about national sovereignty.

Yes, but expressed in culturally different way. As I wrote, no Mark Francois for us. He's an important politician due to the peculiar British current political culture.

EDIT: I meant "peculiarly British", but I haven't the heart to edit that typo.
