Full question wording

An “Australian-style points-based immigration system” is one which has been proposed in order to control EU migration in the wake of Britain voting to leave the EU. The proposal is that by 2020 migrants would only be let into the UK "on the basis of their skills", and that those moving for work reasons would "have to be suitable for the job in question". The UK already has a points-based system for migrants coming from countries outside the EU, but whilst it was not proposed that this should be extended to EU migrants, supporters of the proposal say that the system should be changed for all migrants, allowing for immigration to be “controlled” and to “end [the] discrimination” of non-EU migrants. However, opponents say that the government should be able to decide who comes into the country, whereas a “points-based system means that people come in automatically if they just meet the criteria." To what extent do you support or oppose an “Australian-style points-based immigration system” being introduced in the UK?
