Proposal for the Reformation of the EU Migrant Labour within the United Kingdom

[Skipper]

Yea, so long as we are a member of the EU this would be impossible. Not a massive fan of the power of the EU but the free movement and employment rules, whilst not helping me right now getting a full time (non bar work) job here in England are one of it's few good points overall.

But how is the free movement and employment even a vaugely positive attribute? We could still wander around european countries before the legislation existed, afterall.

I suppose people do feel that as long as they've got free movement around the slums of europe that its acceptable to be unable to find work.. yes yes.. very rational..

Well I travelled and worked my way around Europe for months and plan to do it again for even longer and over more of the continent. It was the best experience of my life so far and as a direct result of the EU laws on employment. The benefits of being able to live and see other cultures is amazing, and millions of people have had that benefit.

So free movement, and being able to actually live and work in a variety of different cultures is more than a "vaguely positive attribute". It is life changing. Granted that's of no benefit to people who want to just stay in their own country their whole lives, and it's of no benefit to me right now looking for full time work in my home country, but I value the ease I can go abroad and work and live now and in the future.

Edit: It also helps with people stuck in countries where jobs for their particular skill are sparse. They can go to where they will find employment or be better rewarded for their skills.
