    Increase immigration to help businesses

    This petition...

    Pleads the government to lift immigration controls to help our struggling businesses. They can't afford to hire premium British workers and would prefer cheaper foreign alternatives without the hassle of relocating. Please help businesses by letting in more cheap workers otherwise their profits will be lower.

    Another troll submission. I'd abstain just to mock it if I didn't think that the Socialists would vote for this nonsense.

    The votes so far hardly support that thesis. :rolleyes:

    Hardly surprising, as the only way for this petition to do what it intends would be to lower or abolish the minimum wage, something the Socialists have tended to oppose in the past.

    There just is no logic, the British are not premium rate workers at current we are in a recession. This is a time British workers are more likely to go out and take any job as there is no room to be fussy. Support this with some actual integral research support...

    Voting no...
