I prefer a points system based on need if I am honest.

I dont favour an amnesty though.

I am undecided about a cap... but as you say a points system is effectively a cap... as the criteria can be moved and toughened/weakened as the demand for labout/skills in certain fields moves.

Australian policy on immigration is tough and often criticised by human rights groups.... must be effective then.

btw

I had a lib dem canvasser at my door the other day... useless. I asked the above question... to her too, no response.. didnt have a clue. Asked about defence and unilateralism... no clue. asked about the EU and its common fiscal policy (currency and interest rates) and did she think it worked... I dont think she understood the question. unreal.


I had the same problem with a "Green" person the other day. I couldn't believe it!
