Sounds very different than the rhetoric of the leave campaign. Are we taking full control of our borders and immigration from the EU or not? Yes we are going to take full control of our borders and immigration. We shall decide who and how many come in, not the EU. If we negotiate some limited period of free movement after we have fully left, so be it. Although I should think totally unconditional free movement is highly unlikely.

How long do you think is reasonable. When we talk about control of our borders and immigration in regards to the EU, do you think the UK will negotiate an agreement with the EU, or simply implement rules based on non-EU countries, or will they revert to the previous 'free movement' agreements with European nations that predate 2004. How will we restrict EU nationals entering the UK. Will they require Work Visas and vacation visas if they're here for more than x number of weeks / months etc.

The EU will try to negotiate a deal that is in the best interests of the Germany and France.

of course the same restrictions, if any, will apply to UK citizens who want to visit, work or live in any of the other 27 EU countries.

Surely then, it doesn't matter what either side said, as it would never be transcribed into law. Yes, under actual Brexit (as opposed to a fake-halfwayhouse touted as "soft"

we would take full control of our borders. Our government will decide immigration policy with NO oversight from the EU. If (unwisely, in my opinion) the government decides it must open doors arbitrarily to anyone from 27 of the 190+ countries in the world, it will need to defend this policy in the 2020 general election. We, as the electorate, will have the right to disagree and choose a different path. This is how the overwhelming majority of democratic nations operate on this planet. | davenotamonkey 05 Apr 17 6.37pm |
