The World's Best Places To Be An Immigrant:
In how many countries can you imagine a politician saying, "We are in a global race for talent and we must win our share," as New Zealand's then immigration minister did in 2005?

I had a seven-hour layover in the Delhi (India) airport last year, and struck up a conversation with a Nepal tour guide who happened to be a New Zealand national. I have long been interested in that country, and I asked her what New Zealand's largest current problem was. Her response was "people." "We don't have enough people."
If there was ever a country that I'd consider emmigrating to, New Zealand would be at or near the top of the list.

Many fear Europe is losing a population war with the Muslims. NZ is apparently losing the population war with the mutton.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
