Britons beware, Labour to rejig council tax

[Beskar]

Well, that was after Labour whipped up the public against the perfectly reasonable "Poll" Tax, which would make a lot more sense if only everyone over 18 had to be registered to vote.

Poll tax being a good idea? Only in a limited capacity.

what we need is an accepted revelation within the british political zeitgeist that it is IMMORAL for the state to spend more than 33% of GDP outside of national emergencies, and no, furthering the revolutionary cause by emancipating the proletariat from subservience to the bourgeois does not count as a national emergency.

Further any sitting government that were to achieve the holy grail of public spending (25% of GDP) one year prior to a general election, and still win that election, would have their next term of office extended from four to five years.

I would change it, the government is not allowed to go in debt at all, unless it is a national emergency. (and rainy day money doesn't make up for the shortfall)
