How much migration per annum do you find acceptable?
. No limit
. 1,000,000 or less
. 100,000 or less
. 1000 or less
. 100 or less
. None at all
Something along those lines, like with the EU referendum they'd have to be extremely specific to prevent any wording shenanigans as you correctly point out. However this relies heavily on the right not being morons or controlled opposition and they almost always are.
