Brexit will not make UK join Schengen

Norway joined Schengen in 1966. The reason was not that it was required to do so by the EU, but because Norway already had a passport union with Sweden and Denmark which they wanted to keep. This was only possible if Noway (and Iceland) joined Schengen. If Britain leaved the EU, it is entirely possible for the government to refuse to join Schengen, from which it has had exemption from the start. If the EU wants to insist on UK in Schengen, then UK would not be able to control immigration. But the EU has a lot to lose if it alienate Britain in that way. Britain has clearly less to lose economically, and of course it would regain its sovereignty.

How would UK develop if it left the EU? 

One need not have a very early prediction of a detailed Plan B for UK's future as this will evolve as soon as the government finds itself free to decide independently of the EU current and future regulations and manipulations. "The future It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future" (Yogi Berra, US baseball star). This applies equally to the In and Out alternatives. But difficult is not impossible. The UK has a huge fund of experience, both historically and since joining the EU and can draw upon both sources to see the best way ahead. 

The increasing disintegration, crisis and redundancy of the dictatorial juggernaut belies the vain hope of E-uniformity as a self-fulfilling prophesy. The pledges gained by Cameron in his renegotiation are not carved in rock. Those who made them may well be out of power before any treaty change can be considered and so they will lose their most ardent support. 

The Plan B does, however, include an upthrust of fresh energy, positivity, inventiveness, enterprise and confidence in the population that would follow upon Brexit.

EU scam:-

"I am surprised that in the current debate, no one has thought to mention that in March 1999 the entire European Commission was forced to resign in the wake of a damning report exposing mismanagement, fraud and corruption at the highest levels.

Following a botched attempt at a cover-up, a whistleblower at the Commission revealed that staff had been instructed to do everything they could to obstruct an official investigation by the auditors.

If we remain in the EU, can we expect similar levels of financial probity?"

Jeremy Corbyn just before Cameron's package was official:

"Grudgingly he outlined his party’s position. David Cameron had blown it. The European Union was failing to stop the erosion of jobs in vital sectors like the steel industry. It was enforcing the privatisation of crucial public services. It was failing to end austerity. It lacked democratic accountability. It wasn’t doing enough to protect workers rights. And that was why Jeremy Corbyn would be urging the British people to vote to stay in. This obviously seemed a slightly contradictory stance. Labour’s leader had spoken. He’d spoken utter gibberish, but it didn’t matter because no-one was paying attention. Once upon a time this would have been noteworthy..."

You must take a crash course in the biases of the far left to understand its sins of omission and commission.
