The EU is not the same as the European Free Trade Agreement, which could likely stay intact.

But yes, it would probably curb immigration between European countries, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I was under the impression that the EFTA was between the EU and external states (Norway, Switzerland, etc), which would mean that with the elimination of the EU, the EFTA would also need to be renegotiated. Given the current political climate, I'm sure there will be some countries that refuse... but, hopefully, most of the countries with /some/ savvy (which I listed in my previous post) would quickly re-negotiate.

EDIT: Just like to point out that I'd still like to see "people" included in these agreements, but that seems even less likely. Even the more free-trade nations have a hard time accepting freedom of movement. This is perhaps the one good thing that would die with the EU.

Right, and I'd like to see the agreement between the EU and Norway and Switzerland turned into a continent-wide treaty. Certainly, all of the Western European countries would agree to it.

EDIT: And as for people, I fully support the free movement of labour as long as the immigrants don't turn to crime and/or use up government resources without contributing.

Sort of the issue isn't it.  With free movement of labor, you sorta have a somewhat uniform welfare system.

Otherwise, people even without jobs are going to leave areas with less welfare to more, just for the bigger handout.

Thereby reducing unemployment. You are a genius Kasz
