Jersey's privileged position of being part of the Single Market and yet not allowing freedom of movement of EU workers seems likely to be quoted by Leavers as a precedent the UK should seek to emulate.  But the EU makes lots of special arrangements for relatively insignificant small territories like Jersey or Lichtenstein which it would not necessarily be prepared to make for major economies like Switzerland or the UK.  

Indeed Jersey may well lose its privileged position as part of Brexit, especially with the EU's increased focus on eliminating tax havens. Gibraltar, too, may well lose its privileged status, unless the UK is prepared to do a deal with Spain.  It's ultimately a matter of power, and at the moment the UK is in a poor negotiating position.
