A points based immigration policy would be a nice start.
> The UK is sovereign. It's just made some international agreements to align with other countries. If you think the EU is bad for this, wait until you see things like TTIP: all of the legislative override, ability to sue the state in foreign courts etc, and none of the democracy.
One wonders how those poor impoverished nations outside of the big trading blocs survive!

What kinds of people do you think are currently immigrating that would not be eligible under a points based system? >One wonders how those poor impoverished nations outside of the big trading blocs survive! Generally they are poor and impoverished, yes. Or they have a deal with the EU and US. Or are tiny exceptions like Singapore.

- JAlexoid 8y agoOf course it's not doomed. But your position on "too much immigrants" is xenophobic, regardless of how you see it. You're literally ignoring the fact, that most congestion in London and S/E England is due to internal migration. You're blaming EU migrants for your discomfort, the ones that are most likely to work for a bit and go back to their countries.
- growlist 8y agoEU immigration certainly doesn't help. Also please don't throw insults around without foundation, which I see that you've been able to do with impunity, which says something about this forum.
