Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by Sarah in the Desert.

I picked this up from the BBC on the migration of Europeans and which countries have restrictions (dated April 2009).

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3513889.stm

“The UK was one of the three countries, along with Ireland and Sweden, to place no restrictions on workers from the 2004 entrants. However, workers have to register and only become eligible for benefits such as Jobseeker’s Allowance and income support after working continuously in the UK for at least a year.
After an unexpectedly large influx of workers from Central Europe – an estimated 600,000 in two years – the UK announced that it would impose restrictions on workers from Bulgaria and Romania. Up to 20,000 are allowed to take low-skilled jobs in agriculture or food processing, high-skilled workers are able to apply for work permits to perform a skilled job, and students are able to work part-time. Self-employed people from Bulgaria and Romania are already allowed to work in the UK, and this will continue.”
