PR should be stopped. Anyone "for" or "against"?
#3
Just as a matter of interest, can I ask what is behind this poll? Why have you started it and what is your standpoint? Normally when one starts a poll it's to encourage discourse and discussion, but you don't seem to have done that here.

I think this thread should be removed... I guess everyone deserves the chance to get PR. If the conditions should be stricter or not we could talk about that.

Sue has asked the OP to clarify the reason for the post - unless and until we know that there is no real reason to remove it.If its to spark a reasoned and logical discussion, that's fine.

Thank you- see i thought that (I'm applying afterall) but I thought it couldn't be right because now I don't see the point in the poll....
maybe I had far too much of a good weekend

I would have taken PR to mean Proportional Representation as in the voting system.
You have made an assumption about PR meaning permenant residency which the OP hasn't stated. If they did mean permenant residency that really doesn't make sense. PR in this sense is a status, not a route to a status.
You might be against skilled immigration for example, but I doubt anyone would be in favour of it being illegal to marry a foreigner, which by necessity would involve a period of PR status in either one country or another.
it would appear to be a thread written by an immigrant who dosnt want any other immigrants here ??
