After two years of non-stop sound and fury over Brexit, a weary truce is emerging in Britain. As the United Kingdom prepares to leave the European Union, it will be a Norway future that seems the most likely destiny.

True, the "remain" campaigners have not quite given up hope that some major crisis — like an announcement from foreign firms they are pulling out of Britain — will produce a giant reversal of public opinion and lead to a new referendum that could reverse the decision of June 2016.

The "leave" enthusiasts, for their part, are plain exhausted. They have been worn down by the sheer complexity and potential economic damage caused by their "vision" of a total British amputation from the EU after March 2019.
