Denmark and Norway may go solo, but Sweden is sticking with her little brother. And we are sticking with our big brother. While we have excellent relations with the UK, the Germany-NL-Belgium-Austria-Luxembourg bloc will trump for us. And always will, if not aliens attack or something.

No way we will create any union with the UK. And Sweden and Finland have a gentleman's agreement that we won't do any drastic geopolitical changes without mutual consent. During the Cold War Sweden didn't join the EU or NATO because of course domestic interests, but also as loyality to Finland.
A wise man said sometimes to me "Finland has stuck with Germany in the both world wars, and you don't have to be a fortune-teller to guess with who we will side with in the third one".
Rather a Gauleiter of a province than an outback of an isolationist island nation.
Would the UK be even interested in joining a Nordic union like that? My impression is that Brits are more focused on the anglosphere, but I read an article a year ago or so (before the Scotland referendum) about Scottish nationalists wanting to join the Nordic community. The Nordic countries have for decades had special co-operation and agreements in place already through its Council.
The Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland) had a chance to create a union in the 1960s, but they blew it. It would have made perfect sense, because there was already cultural, historical, and monetary cohesion. Instead Scandinavia got split up by the "Common Market," later the EU.
