Yeah watching it now. I was a little underwhelmed by the manifesto launches so hopefully tonight will be a little more interesting.

On the first topic, immigration, I'm giving the victory to Nick Clegg.


Brown: Immigration is fine basically.  Doesnt wanty a cap, current rules are beginning to work. bull.

Cameron: Immigration is too high (no shit).  Points system and limits, new countries into EU - transitional limits.  seems ok.  Wants limits and caps.  Border Police force (hallelujah)

Clegg: Chaos at the moment,  monitor exit controls..?!  Immigrants can only go to regions where they can be accomodated.. (terrible idea and untterly unworkable!!!).  There is good immigraton and bad immigration... we need immigrant skills and therefore no caps and carry on.

 

How the hell can you have regional immigration... allowed in sent to a region... what is to stop them moving... its all one country?

 

 

 

 

Well I know they manage it in Australia (and apparantly Canada too according to Clegg). Presumably Visas will be granted based on the area where the job is actually requiring that skill or perhaps more so that the area in question can actually accommodate more immigration. The incentive to stay is that they have a job there and according to Clegg won't be allowed to work elsewhere.

A cap on immigration would be a nightmare, especially if international students were included in this. It could be financial ruin for universities.
