Ideally what should happen is (like America) companies should evidence that they've tried to hire locally (for an extended period) before being allowed to hire from abroad. Doesn't apply to the ballot system, obviously, because they don't even need to have work lined up, so all they're going to...
Not as bad as I originally thought, then. But, we can only hope. The NI exemption on the other deal was originally 3 years. It's now been extended to 5, so there's nothing stopping the government from changing this one, too. We already get around 250k Indians entering on long term visas each year.

We spend more money on benefits than we make in income tax revenue. 14.5% of the population (or 23% of the working-age population) is on some sort of benefit. As @Priapus said, the system is heavily gamed, even attracting people from overseas for that specific purpose because of how easy it is -...
