Polish Mp To Live In Uk

[emmie]

for a few weeks to see what it is like and why so many young Polish people have left Poland and now live here. Perhaps its a much of a problem for them because Poland needs its young, as do we, so if the brain drain from these countries continues, how are they ever going to progress.

He said he must find the answers to "many questions" and must "think about this problem" during his time in the UK.

Hundreds of thousands of Poles have come to the UK since Poland joined the European Union in 2004.

The 2011 census found there were 579,000 Polish-born people living in the UK - a 10-fold increase from 10 years earlier.

Funny how, when any of our MPs are asked to try doing much the same thing, they refuse to!

Perhaps he could set up the UK's first Polish parliament?

Not unprecedented

/Daniel Kawczynski, Conservative MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham, whose family fled Poland in 1940

Mark Lazarowicz, Labour and Co-operative MP for Edinburgh North and Leith, whose father was Polish

Denis MacShane, former Minister for Europe, whose father was Polish

David Miliband, former Foreign Secretary, whose mother was born in Poland

Ed Miliband, leader of the Labour Party, whose mother was born in Poland//

good idea. bring in cheap, hard-working foreign mps to replace ours. do you think they'd vote for that.

he wants to find out why the young leave, surely that is worth looking into from their prospective, its a serious point. Because as other European politicians have stated many of their young, brightest leave, so wouldn't it be better if they upped their game, paid fair wages and stopped their brain drain.

zeuhl, this isn't about him settling here, perhaps you didn't read the bit about coming for a few weeks, not sure how he will survive on 100 quid a week though, depends on whether he can get cheap accommodation, or hope that some Polish folk can put him up
