If, as expected, the General Election is called in May, I won’t be entitled to vote. But even I can see that, if they don’t improve dramatically, the Tories are on their way to a monumental gubbing. As irritating and…

I think the focus in recent times has been on progress. Women have worked, communities have been lost and people are ever more dislocated.

Add to this ugly looking surrounds and fiscal insecurity and its no wonder that lots of people are jolly depressed.

Goodness who wouldn’t be?

Honestly, I wish government would have a go at fixing some of our social problems.

Playing the race card is a tricky thing to do.

I don’t believe that most people generally dislike people from other races but like most people they want to be involved in communities of people who are like them (increasingly difficult).

They are often quite jealous of tight knit ethnic communities.

Yet politically, playing to this understandable instinct is difficult because it smacks of mean spiritedness. No-one likes to imagine that they are hard hearted and a leader that shines a mirror to this instinct may not do well unless they can come at the issue from a common sense perspective that the population can live with.

The push for immigration comes from the top end of town and with their unnatural allience with the liberal progressives it seems unlikely that immigration will halt.

More focus must be on structuring a society where people can reproduce and have communities

Currently, we are in the thows of a social experiment where men and women have

Czech Republic and Poland are seriously looking into it. Spain might well do it too, as one-fifth of the Spanish economy is in the black untaxed economy. Advocates of flat tax say that simplification generated by flat taxes can actually increase overall tax revenue. Corporate tax loopholes are closed as well – no exceptions , and no army of tax consultants and lawyers.

Yes, I know the arguments for and against it, but it IS radical , and the Tories can gather the evidence on it’s effects from those Eastern European governments. Admittedly, those eastern European countries are starting from very low bases, so their GDP growth rates might be illusory ,and may well bed down once their economies mature.

I’m impressed by the astonishing growth rates. Just don’t quite buy the idea of everybody paying 20%.

Oh. Unless you’re suggesting we all go up to 40%?

(Ouch)

You have to do something serious radical – something that really gets people’s attention.

FLAT TAX!! No reliefs, no highly complicated labrynthine Inland Revenue rules, no industry of tax consultants/lawyers. How many billions would be saved in efficiencies? How much money would suddenly be liberated in the economy?

They’ve done flat tax in Eastern Europe with astonishing growth rates as a result. Do something radical Tories and wake me up out of my cant-tell-the-difference haze…
