I’m not sure where you’re coming from with this.
Migrants need to assimilate, adapt, and integrate, and to be aware of the institutions, the history of the UK, the political and social make-up of the country…. and the “Life in the UK” test does attempt to address/achieve this.
It is also another piece of the jigsaw, which starts with the English language test/qualification which must accompany the settlement visa application, continues with the Life in the UK test, and ends with citizenship & naturalisation.
Too many times (in my roll as Polling Officer, Polling Clerk, Electoral Registration Officer) have I come across people who are “British”, who have been here many, many years…. but have no basic understanding of English, no comprehension of what is expected or demanded (by law) in the voting or registration process. How have they assimilated ????????????
No examinations are “fair”…… but rules and examinations are for the benefit of all.
Perhaps if you view this test as “unfair”, does this logic also apply to (for example) a UK driving license test ?
Do you advocate that anyone may drive in the UK, as long as they have a license from their country of origin ?
The test is not that difficult……. it is educational, improves your knowledge of the UK and it’s institutions, and hopefully should stimulate debate & conversation between you
