Leave without a doubt. Won't ever happen though, the EU won't let it happen.
No they won't, but the news hinted the other day Cameron was ready to hang ex-pats out to dry for his reforms over benefits to EU citizens - since it works both ways...

They apply for resident visas retroactively, I guess.
What happens to British living permanently in the USA?
(And if the EU did get "The Hump" and make life hard for the ex-pats, it would simply confirm the EU as a nasty spiteful organisation that we are better off having nothing to do with)
Britain would. Britain is petty when it is politics.
That entirely depends on what happens after the vote. If we end up in a Norway or Switzerland style position than freedom-to-work will be maintained - it's deeply implausible that we would be allowed unfettered access to EU markets without accepting freedom-to-work. If we don't: the most likely result is that UK citizens in European countries will need to apply for some kind of visa to continue living and/or working in the EU perhaps with some kind of grace period. It seems likely that Eire will operate under a different arrangement.
It will probably take around two years from the vote to negotiate and agree terms of leaving so there will be time for people to put arrangements in place.
Well his reforms to benefits for EU citizens won't be happening now since Angela and Donald have told him off for asking. For the record I don't think it's right that British people go to other countries then claim off the state without putting anything back in - not sure if this happens at all though, other EU countries seem to have laws which prevent this.
I doubt it, remember that we'd still need "tens of thousands" of immigrants. The difference is that we could recruit these immigrants from anywhere in the world rather than the current racist EU laws which favour migrants from the EU.
Since when did being part of the EU mean we can't allow people in from outside the EU?
He didn't say we couldn't, he said we favour those from the EU.
Did I say it did? To clarify, I meant that the EU's immigration laws unfairly favour immigrants from EU countries, which they do.

A lot of the general population don't understand the difference between the EU and Europe.
Out. Asap.

Of course it's to do with the EU - they tell us what immigration laws we have to have. I personally would prefer to see all immigrants treated equally irrespective of their nationality, but Brussels wants special treatment for EU citizens.
What EU immigration laws stop the UK form allowing non EU nationals into the UK?
No, they don't. We agreed to a mutually beneficial deal as part of our agreement with the other countries of the EU. Acting as if the EU decided on this rather than this all happening with our full agreement is nonsense.
What we can't do is unilaterally pull out of one small part of our deal and expect the other countries to carry on with the rest.
