"Stop foreign men using marriage to live in the UK."

My epetition with the above title closes today. It reads: "Marriage is a loophole in visa constraints. Abolishing the spouse visa would be for the common good because England is over-crowded and the UK has more young men than young women. It would not prevent women from marrying foreign men because they can live in the husband's country, as is normal. This loophole for foreign men was closed in 1969 but was re-opened by the next Labour Home Secretary. The Conservatives promised to close the loophole again in their 1979 election manifesto, but did not keep their promise." This epetition achieved 735 signatures. (4 Signed this afternoon! - GREAT!) I would like to thank everyone - particularly the women - who signed, and who Liked, Retweeted and expressed favourable comments. Many thanks!
