In an outrageous development it has emerged that migrants will get a British passport quicker if they stand on picket lines or knock on doors, asking people to vote for Labour, the Daily Mail reports.

The Home Office, which was up to only recently led by infamous money-waster Jacqui Smith, says that trade union activism and political canvassing should count towards the planned new system of ‘earned citizenship’, according to the newspaper.

Migrants who complete 50 hours of voluntary work will be entitled to receive British citizenship after six years – two years earlier than if they do nothing.

Critics will point to the historic relationship between Labour and the unions. Migrants cannot vote until they become citizens – so, by using union membership to speed their applications, Labour is potentially swelling its own support.

Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green said according to the report that this sort of proposal threatens to bring the whole idea of earning British citizenship into disrepute.
