european union: She said leaving the EU offers the chance to build stronger, fairer, more prosperous Britain based on a new contract between government and people, according to CTV. The Conservative election manifesto renews a promise to reduce net immigration to below 100,000 -- a vow the party has made and broken since 2010. May's platform for the June 8 election marks a big shift away from the strongly pro-business, free-market policies of past Conservative governments. It sets no date by which Britain will reach the goal. EU citizens have the right to live and work in other member states. Many Britons who voted last year to leave the European Union were motivated by a desire to control immigration, which has soared as the EU has expanded. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
