Plenty!
Australia also has, the very same system of Government. It has the same Head of State (Queen Elizabeth), it has the same institutions, the union jack which basically connects Australia to Britain in a very close relationship.
It's not the only country connected at the hip. Canada and New Zealand are also and there are others as well.
As Britain actually founded Australia, I will tell you that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Australians are a very resourceful and proud lot so I am not surprised one bit that Britain wants out of the EU.
Can you imagine Australia have the immigration policies it does if you had some idiots in Strasbourg dictate the terms and laws of the country?
Britain from what I understand wants to implement Australian Immigration policies and it is its rights to do that as an independent country. The EU can take a hike if they don't like it. The EU will have no say in British Affairs soon enough.
UK will always need immigrants as long as it’s economy is doing well, whether they came from the EU member states easily or have gone through expensive applications process. In the end it makes no difference to the number of immigrants in the UK whichever system they will use to process them.
Let’s face it, Australia had one of the most racist immigration policies for the longest time where only whites were allowed to come. Has this policy changed? If it has, it can only be because they have more low income jobs which white immigrants would not take, so they are forced to bring in “niggers” as cheap Labour. I must say, I did not see very many non whites during my travels in Australia 3 years ago.
The EU is much more diverse with many nationalities and colour of skin. UK was just as a racist country too in the 70’s, but after joining the EU, they could not keep those racist policies in place. Out of the EU, we may see it coming back with the likes of the Brexiteers in charge and many of their followers. Already police have been given more powers by BJ to violate citizens Human Rights. It will only get worse when check and balances are gone when out of the EU.
The good thing with Australia's points system is that the immigration is specifically arranged in a fashion by way of a points system in order to attract qualified people in areas where there is a need or an economic benefit to Australia.
It's not an open borders type situation resulting in terrible ghettos like in London and other parts of Europe full of degenerate unemployed down and outs because they can't even speak a word of the local language.
Race has nothing to do with it.
Australia will take anyone as long as they tick the right boxes. Qualified people, and people already able to speak English have advantages. And that should be pure common sense to anyone.
I mean you can call us racist all you like as we don't want any ghettos here.
Oh and I am sorry, but no country does diversity and integration better than Australia, Canada and USA. We bring people we want here, not have a free for all. You are inviting people to your house. We do that well here, and you do that not so well in the EU.
So anytime the EU is ready, they can watch us and learn!
You can ask any country if they would prefer Australia's immigration policies to those of the EU, and even many EU members like Australia, Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Britain, and Italy will choose Australia's hands down.
And that is where the entire EU project will eventually collapse.
