Clearly freedom of movement is the clincher. But people forget the EU has had immigration caps before and probably would again for any new members, so perhaps a guarantee of that would help sway people.
For me to consider changing my vote the solution is easy. No one or body outside the UK has the right to overturn rulings made by our courts. We decide our own laws. Easy really.Comment

If they returned the EU to a common market without empire building ambitions and a points based migration system I'm pretty sure the majority of Brexiters would vote remain.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

But 6-12 months (or an indefinite employment contract) in order to qualify for benefits wouldn't be unreasonable.
It is crazy that people working here are entitled to child benefit for children who have never even set foot here,Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostWell that's democracy, like it or not.
So if the UK signs up to implement EU law, but it's the UK courts that interprets and applies that EU law, that's okay?
We want to un-sign from EU law. That's the whole point!Comment

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostFor how long? If you live in another country and pay into the social fund for that country, why shouldn't you receive the same benefits as any other resident?
Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostYou'd prefer they bring the kids and suck up more of the public purse in schooling and NHS?
I love the "right to roam" enshrined in the EU but it shouldn't be a right for anyone and everyone to move to the country with "the best deal from the public purse" be that here or elsewhere. Is it unreasonable to have some kind of probationary period where we are supported by our country of origin until we have "proven" ourselves to our adopted home?Comment
