Two-thirds of voters ‘want young Britons to be able to live and work in Europe’

But any deal won’t be reciprocal, in that the UK will most likely receive more workers from the EU then go the other way.

“Australian style” isn’t what we had before Brexit.

To work in Australia you have to apply and get a visa.

So two thirds of voters think that there should be work visas available, for a limited time, for a particular age group, on a reciprocal basis with the EU.

Got it!

Edit: Here are the criteria for the Aus visa, I think if you asked most people whether they would approve of this Australian style system, they probably would:

*First visa (12 months) “Class 417” $650*

* Must be 18 to 30 years old (or 35 years old for some countries)

* Must have a passport from an eligible country or jurisdiction

* Must not be accompanied by dependent children

*Second visa (further 12 months) $650*

“You must have a passport from an eligible country or jurisdiction

*You can do any kind of work while you are here
You must have completed 3 months of specified subclass 417 work

*If you are in Australia, you must hold a substantive visa or your last substantive visa expired less than 28 days ago

*You can apply for a third Working Holiday visa if you meet certain eligibility criteria

*Third visa (further 12 months) $650*

*You must have a passport from an eligible country/jurisdiction

*You can do any kind of work while you are here

*You must have completed 6 months of specified subclass 417 work

*If you are in Australia, you must hold a substantive visa or your last substantive visa expired less than 28 days ago

Poll out tomorrow: “Two thirds of voters don’t want Europeans to be able to live and work in the UK”

Despite originally being a remain voter, I am not supportive of this scheme. This is simply due to that fact that EU citizens will be able to get more benefits from this than Brits. The main reasons for this are language, salaries and availability of jobs.

English is spoken far more widely, and there will be far more EU citizens who can speak English than Brits who can speak a European language. Now of course we can say that’s our fault for not learning a language, but nevertheless it’s a barrier for Brits being able to work abroad.

Salaries generally are also higher in UK compared to most other European countries, especially for the lower skilled areas and so it will be far more attractive for EU citizens to work in UK than it would be for UK citizens to go to Europe.

UK also has far lower unemployment rates than Europe generally, so there would be more opportunities available in UK for Europeans than for UK citizens in Europe. Additionally, this will certainly put more downward pressure on wages in the UK.

Again, this is just my personal opinion. I love Europe and Europeans, but as a Brit, this is what I see as best for other British people.

66% of people want all the good bits and none of the bad bits on a whole bunch of different things is essentially what led to a leave vote.

I’m not sure going through that list of items one at a time while we find out that’s not how things work in the real world is particularly helpful.

Two thirds of Europeans don’t want UK people taking their jobs….

Why can’t they just cap it. One person needs to leave to allow for another to come here? As opposed to just letting uncontrolled numbers move.

But it’s always the other third on the radio shouting how they’re being betrayed. Not to mention gutter press headlines.,

ITT people blame the EU for immigration rather than the utter ineptitude of the last Tory government, as usual

Do they still want that if it means x many hundred thousand unskilled workers coming the other way?

Hang on, hang on. Aren’t there VISA schemes that people can apply to in Europe, just like we have here for them? Surely the ‘issue’ isn’t that people CAN’T go there to live and work in either direction, it’s that now all done in a controlled manner, where there’s got to be an actual justification with an application first. Or am I missing something?

Seems a bit misleading.

Unfortunately Russia didn’t agree that’s why we had Brexit

I wonder how many of them voted to stop them doing so, only a few years ago.

This headline says “two third of voters” by the way.

The median age of the UK (everyone from the newest newborn to the oldest centurion) is 41 years of age.

However since under-18s don’t have the vote, the median age of the UK electorate is likely in the 50-55 range.

“Two-thirds” implies that a large share of middle-aged people are very likely supportive of this.

The biggest opposition, as you would expect, is probably amongst the elderly (Boomers).

Majority of a tiny amount of people asked feel x. If only we could poll the country.
