The question of immigration is on the forefront of the political mind. Never has there been a discussion so divisive than that of the movement of people. A cornerstone in the Brexit debates, a mainstay in election material, and the subject of ever-changing legislature, it is easy to see why people can have such varied opinions on a topic so broad. Yet, following the adoption of a point-based immigration system by the conservative government in 2023, the cabinet had hoped to appease the masses, and lay this argument to rest once and for all. But how can we assess this? Has the implementation of a point-based immigration system fostered the skill and talent of the nation? Has it fallen flat on its face in the wake of a global pandemic? Or perhaps is it simply too early to say? These are but a few of the question the following article seeks to engage with.
