Liberal Democrat Party

Strongly agree

Increase

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported policies that are pro-immigration, arguing that immigration enriches the cultural fabric and economy of the UK. They have advocated for a more liberal approach to immigration, suggesting that they would likely support an increase in temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers to boost the economy and fill skill gaps.

Strongly agree

Increase

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported a more open immigration policy, especially for high-skilled workers. In their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they pledged to create a 'more flexible' immigration system, which would include making it easier for businesses to hire workers from abroad.

Agree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

The Liberal Democrats recognize the importance of businesses being able to hire high-skilled workers at a competitive cost. However, their primary focus is on the benefits of immigration for the UK economy and filling skills gaps, rather than solely on cost considerations.

Agree

Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

The Liberal Democrats have shown interest in both supporting immigration and investing in education and training for UK citizens. While they might support the idea of providing more incentives to prepare citizens for high-skilled jobs, it's unlikely they would see decreasing visas as the primary mechanism for achieving this goal, hence the moderate score.

Slightly agree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

While the Liberal Democrats recognize the importance of economic competitiveness and the role of skilled workers in achieving this, they also emphasize fair work practices and might be cautious about framing the argument purely in terms of hiring 'at the lowest cost', which could imply undermining workers' rights or wage competition.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount

While the Liberal Democrats have not explicitly stated a position on maintaining the current amount of temporary work visas for high-skilled workers, their overall pro-immigration stance suggests a preference for flexibility and adaptability in immigration policy to meet economic needs, rather than a strict maintenance of the status quo.

Disagree

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

Although the Liberal Democrats are concerned about fair wages and working conditions, their focus on the benefits of immigration and the need for skilled workers in the UK economy suggests they would be less likely to support a decrease based solely on the premise that companies are taking advantage of the program to decrease wages, without evidence of widespread abuse.
