> centrist/centre-right government that is (mildly) interested in simplifying government procedures.

None of this is in any way true; I've known several people personally who've had difficult and expensive fights with the Home Office, and every indication has been that they're looking to reduce absolute numbers at any cost, including egregiously unfair processes.

For one person, their tax accountant made an error in filing to the Inland Revenue. That resulted in a fight that cost 6 months, £12k legal fees, and was barred from working or renting property during that time.

Nor is it appropriate to characterise any government contemplating no deal Brexit as "centrist".
