If Germany feels it advantageous for Germany to make some sort of deal with the UK then Germany will use its economic, financial and political clout within the EU to get exactly what it wants - it always has in the past.

In your posts where you refer to countries such as Norway and Switzerland you talk about them and free movement of labour and access as though they were like the UK, France, Netherlands or Germany - simply put, they are not, they apply their own interpretation of what they see as being free access and it is a great deal more restrictive than you think.

You didn't answer my question as to whether or not you had worked in either of these countries Kevin and were talking from experience. I have not worked in Switzerland but have experience in having worked in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, France and the Netherlands and can tell you from practical experience the differences of working in each.

Where is it a matter of employers employing immigrants because they will work for less, and put up with terrible conditions? As far as the "Remain" campaign tell us the UK needs immigrants because our own population are not prepared to do certain jobs and we are daft enough to support our selective unemployed on benefits until something more acceptable to them comes along, there are a few countries on that list above where after a limited time that just would not be allowed to happen.
