What part of being in opposition and therefore unable to approach other goverments don't you understand?

The logic is that you at least have some idea of the countries that would have such a system, and if they cannot contact another goverment how can they be so sure they can implement the policy?

Perhaps you try and get a copy of the ITV program again and this time actually listen to what he said.
Howard made it perfectly clear that in the event of any humanitarian disasters we would accept as many as needed.
What he is trying to do is force the UN to do it's job in allocating asylum seekers to countries in such number that they can culturaly, socially, and economically cope with.

Fine, but that already proves that the quota is not a final amount in that sense, what if a sudden skill storage appears will the quota be changed then too?

As the details became more clear that the goverment didn't have a clue how to impliment it properly, are you suprised they didn't back it?
Why back something which is a waste of money and isn't going to do the things that you want it to do?
Just because the tories wanted to impliment ID cards themselves doesn't mean they should automatically support any plan to bring in ID cards!

They supported THIS bill, the BILL that they then objected too after. Howard even wrote a letter in the telegraph stating why the bill should pass!

That wasn't the program I was listening to.

Tory plans to put a cap on migrants coming into the UK would tie industry's hands, the head of Britain's top business association has said.
He told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight: "If we have a cap of any sort it will tie businesses' hands from the flexibility which is, after all, the hallmark of the British labour market. So we are not in favour of a cap.
"To say we are going to cap them at a certain figure, then, frankly, unless that figure was so enormous we would say 'you are tying our hands when you don't need to'."
Sir Digby said every 1% increase in immigration brought a 1.5% increase in national wealth and that 97% of immigrants found work straight away.
