Immigration is important and the economy is important but the EU is a relatively minor influence on both.


I'd though have to add in that regarding non-EU-migration, the UK has far lower numbers than Germany or France, and even Sweden ... and that is due to the opt-out the UK has from Schengen.

True, in a way. Being an island sure helps too.

No, that would be unparliamentary. Have to say "Tony, teller of terminological inexactitudes says" then underneath a board flashes up with whatever he has just said.

Not every village has something like that. Most places where I live have an old miner's hall, but not everywhere has one.

Is there a limit on how small a municipality can be in Britain? Do they not require town halls, or any other institution of the State?

We use lots of very small polling stations all over the UK that serve a few blocks of residents, rather than serving a larger area with fewer polling stations. Since there isn't a town hall or government building in every area, often churches, historical sites, schools, museums, cafes/pubs etc... are used instead.
