EDIT: How could I forget, the very annoying and more ridiculous proposal from the Tories, charging a bond to foreign students to come to the UK to study which they have returned when the leave. We desperately need foreign educated workers, during the time theyre here theyre a low burden on society and highly productive. They students hugely supplement our university system with their payments, and we are incentiveising them to leave once theyre educated which is the opposite of what we should be doing.  An idiotic policy.

I can see what theyre trying to achieve, but surely those who are on fake visas will avoid paying the bond as well? Only students legally here will have to pay this bond. Also capping the number of skilled migrants coming here is a bad move, unskilled mass migration yes, but skilled labour no. If i look around at work probably 30% of the worforce is non-EU, highly skilled and educated workers from all over the world, American, Irish, South African, Austrailian, Indian, Pakistani. It huge organisation cant hire internation workers because of immigration caps there it will adversly affect the economy.

Im in two minds. I think the lib dems might inject some youthful vigor into politics but their policy to scrap trident/trident replacement is intolerable and I wouldnt vote for them on that basis alone. If they were to change that however I would consider voting for them.
