Ahead of the 2015 General Elections, Scenes of Reason gets to grips with where the top six political parties lie on that oh-so-controversial topic: immigration.
According to the Prime Minister’s speech in November, the UK’s immigration procedure operates in line with a points based system. This is only for non-EU immigrants, though Nigel Farage and UKIP would like to see this extended to include EU immigrants too.
A points based system is the criteria that the UK government uses to select which migrants are allowed to come here. It only applies to non- EU migrants. This system was introduced in February 2008 by the previous Labour government, but has since been adopted by the Coalition, who have made changes.
