The gamble worked. The record 3,800 frames that...
Unfortunately, the debates often concerned little more than narrow ethnic prejudices. According to anti-Marketers, EEC membership would allow "dirty Italians" to steal Norwegian jobs and "rich Germans" to grab Norwegian land. As the election approached, windows were smashed and radio aerials ripped from cars bearing Ja til EF-yes to EEC-bumper stickers...
