| Ka-pi96 said: Remaining in the EU = planning for the future. What about immigration is even a problem with the EU though? It only gives people in other EU countries a right to move here if they choose to, what's wrong with that? It should be merit based, if they can't get a job here to support themselves then they won't be able to stay here, will they? If they stay here regardless then isn't that the UK governments fault for funding them rather than the fault of the EU? |
I agree with you 100% on immigration. Oftentimes, immigration is often used as a scapegoat for other ills in society. Immigrants are usually blamed when the problems lie in the employment market, welfare state, etc.
One issue I hold with the EU on the immigration front, however, is that there clearly isn't enough "political capital" for unlimited immigration, and so we have this situation where people from the EU can move into Britain at the expense of people not from the EU. That's certainly not fair, or beneficial for either the people of Britain, or the people from countries outside the EU.
As for your other comment about planning for the future, not sure if serious. Have you seen how much the Euro is tanking in recent months? There's a reason for that: nobody who has skin in the game (ie, money involved) has any confidence in the future of the EU and the Euro.
