There is a difference indeed, but that difference was completely ignored when the referendum slogans were shouted precisely to lie to people that if they left the EU they would be in the same position as Switzerland and Norway which is an appealing prospect.

no-one ever said this

they were used as examples of countries that are successful despite being outside the EU

not that the UK would "be in the same position" if it left, i.e. becoming 10x richer per capita or starting to mass produce cuckoo clocks

Completely ignoring the fact that both countries are 100% aligned with EU on basically all laws and regulations, have open borders with the EU etc. etc. etc.

Could you bring a couple of examples of such slogans?

The closest I can come up with:

"Singapore on the Thames"

But I'd assume it's more remainers pointing out that GB wouldn't be like Norway or Switzerland being dismissed as "Project Fear" and rembering the double negative as a positve affirmation by the brexit shysters.
