They would and immigration restrictions will be practically the same after negotiations and compromises.
What magic are people honestly expecting to get?
Ten Jeremy Corbyn quotes on the EU. Wonder if Zethor thinks Corbyn believes in the concept of "pure blood" as well
Those quotes had nothing to do with my previous posts. Corbyn's position is known, he has stated it clearly.
No one can say. It seems very unlikely that there would be any kind of immediate deportation so, at the very least, I would expect some kind of grand-fathering in of existing EU workers in the UK onto work visas similar to those we grant non-EU workers.
I think the most likely post-Brexit outcome is that, probably after a few years, we regain access to the EU free market and, in doing so, grant exactly the same rights of free movement we have now.
The straight answer, as with almost everything about a Brexit scenario, is: no-one knows. There are simply too many unknowns to answer the question with any certainty.

On laws being made alone is making me vote out. The government voted into power should have the final say on all laws that are passed.
they'd have 2 years to apply for visas?
Actually, that's a very good point I missed out: the exit process won't be instant anyway and during negotiations the existing free movement rights would apply. The length of that period is, of course, not known. The rules say we have up to two years to negotiate and can then apply to the EU for an extension if we want longer but that this requires a unanimous vote from the remaining states.
The United States is a political union of partially self-governing states.
Well no he hasn't stated it clearly. What he's done is spent nearly his entire political career being against the EU and now he is a turncoat, switching sides just to avoid causing more friction between the Labour Party. I think it's quite laughable how a labour leader, who should stand up for the British working class is taking the pro EU stance which is beneficial to big business and is more likely to result in English people fighting for lower skilled jobs.
So is the UK.
He is standing up for British working class by not having a position that would result in a recession worse than the one caused by the financial crash. Do you recall who picked up the tab for that mess? It certainly wasn't the top 1%.
And in doing so, is being a complete and utter hypocrite and going against everything he's ever said, and stood for.
Not exactly the kind of thing I'd respect in a leader, to be honest.
One can be critical of an organisation without wanting to leave it. I saw Corbyn speak more than once during the leadership campaign and his position has not changed; he was saying then what he is saying now: there are issues with the EU but we're better off in than we are out.
So UK leaving EU will cause a recession worse than the last one? Whilst it's well documented by pro and against EU campaigners that the UK economic growth will slow down in the short term when/if we leave, I have not seen one source that states it will cause a global recession worse than the last one. Your post is pure speculation without any substance. You may be correct but you are playing a guessing game yet arguing as fact. Nobody really knows what the fallout will be as its unchartered territory, it's never been done.
So in other words the EU needs fundamental reform?
The last time corbyn voted on the EU he voted Out. His position has very much changed. His leadership campaign is very recent history. For the 30 or 40 years before his campaign he has been very much anti EU.
No one knows the future but expert opinions range from a mild to a severe recession in Britain after Brexit. I've posted the links here repeatedly, not that many of you bothered reading the material. Your position is not based on facts, numbers, logic so you're immune to such arguments.

Wonder how many of these experts receive funding from the EU in one form or another...
I bet those same experts are hiding the existence of the Loch Ness monster too... Can't prove it but it is possible.
