Just heard on the BBC news that the British Cabinet has decided that after Brexit EU (etc) nationals will not be given priority over other nationals. Same rules to apply to everybody.
Given reciprocity it looks likely that British nationals coming to Switzerland will be grouped with all other third country nationals.
Doubt it will affect Brits with valid permits but Brits coming after Brexit will now have to join the queue for a the limited number of 3rd country permits on offer.

So it is believed that after Brexit Brits and Swiss already in country will have some protection.
It is also claimed the Swiss and British Govts. are discussing post Brexit changes.

That's a bit optimistic.

He voted No in 1975, voted against Maastricht and Lisbon. He voted for an EU referendum in 2011 (which was defeated) and then infuriated the Leave campaign in 2016 by his inaction to their cause.

I respect him for it.
I just doubt that he'll be any more succesful in getting his way with the EU than May was.

If you read what I wrote perhaps you would be less confused. "He only want's" I don't think he will as he won't get elected. | Quote: | | | | | You must have seen the "Love Corbyn, Hate Brexit" T-Shirts doing the rounds Loz. | | | | | He only want's BREXIT so he can nationalise everything in sight without EU interference.

He only want's BREXIT so he can nationalise everything in sight without EU interference. | | | | | Just confused why you were bringing up something that was, for all intents and purposes, irrelevant and speculative.
Why didn't you write "want's" (maybe sans apostrophe  ) the first time around instead of your more resolute "can".
Then again, this is the Brexit thread where made up fluff is passed off as hard fact. | | This user would like to thank Sandgrounder for this useful post: | |

Anyway, since oil prices are rocketing, you English can continue robbing the Scottish natural resources to pay for it. You're "welcome".
