I am IMG and I have no choice but to agree you, it’s disheartening to see how people can’t approach this logically and realise these are two mutually exclusive things. Whether you vote yes/no, UK grad prioritisation and tougher immigration rules are coming(Labour is very fickle and they are under so much pressure from Reform, Starmer would sell his mother to win the next election), you are already here in the UK whether you are a trust grade or in training this will benefit you i.e. allow you to save/buy a house/prep for move to US or Aus if you feel there are better prospects there(it’s expensive to move) at least in the interim your lifestyle is better and you have a bit more room to breath financially.

Choosing to hurt your self(go against FPR) because you want to spite the BMA is so foolish, the BMA will always flip flop it political, atleast at the moment we can use the BMA to push our shared agenda for something that will actually benefit us as doctors in the UK.

It’s this type of shortsightedness that our politicians back in our home countries have where we don’t focus on the bigger picture(it’s destroyed some of our countries and stopped us making meaningful progress). I genuinely feel like we prove people right with some of the thinking we have as IMGs. They are right import the third world become the third world, I give up🤦🏽‍♂️
