What the petition asks
Further to the recent referendum vote in Switzerland regarding limiting their population to 10 million, I would like our Government to hold a referendum in the UK in similar terms to make it legal under statute to take measures to limit the UK population to 75 million.
We believe it is arguable at best that the only way to ensure growth is through ever increasing population sizes. We feel it is also arguable as to whether it is ethically correct to take the best and most trained individuals from developing nations to bolster western European nations. I would like the UK to strive to develop its economy without reliance on continued high levels of immigration. Surely AI can help with this.
