But the UK could still follow the "Swiss" or "Norwegian" models...

The Norwegians pay a similar amount of their GDP PPP to the EU in their agreement for less of the benefits that we receive by being a part of the union. I honestly don't know enough about the Swiss model to speak about them. All I can say is, the Norwegians, and indeed the Scandinavian countries as a whole, tend to be more liberally minded than British politicians.

Well there's your problem. You really think any of those people are going to be a positive contribution to your society? The past 30 years of mass immigration on mainland Europe should give you a very clear picture of what this new generation of wealth seekers will do to your country in another 30 years.

That is categorically and empirically untrue, numerous studies have proved time and time again that immigration has been a net benefit to our nation as most become financial contributors to the country. As far as I understand it, there are more white-English people out of work and on benefits than there are immigrants. The argument shouldn't be economical though, it should be social. Simply put, we are allowing the greatest human disaster in Europe to take place since World War II because the people at our borders are brown skinned.

I feel like it's the only moral, humanitarian stance to take. The people at Calais (some common ground for you and I, Vlam) are in desperate need of help.
What do you think about Brexit, Vlam? As far as I understand it the general belief in France is that we should remain within the EU...
