Political Opinions / The UK, new government good or bad
« on: July 30, 2010, 07:47:39 PM »
Just want to see what you guys think, you may or may not know that the recent general election resulted in the Conservative party being in power. For the benefit of the americans on here this is a bit like the republicans (High taxes, keeping the rich rich and the poor poor, slight racist undertones ect.). The first thing this new government did was raise the vat rate (which is sales tax) to 20% from 17.5%. As a buisness owner this will cripple my finances and discourage people from parting with their cash, the flip side is that my country is in a lot of debt and their saying its nessisery for a brighter future.
I would really like your oppinions on this as I'm torn for my next vote.
Somthing else you might find amusing, I'm doing some reasearch on just how currupt my local council is. Already my findings are beyond belief but I will post full details when im done.
