European elections
« on: 09 June 2024, 07:40:11 »

The makeup of the European Parliament could change dramatically tonight, when the results are announced. A surge by the 'far right' threatens to upset the bloc's views on environmental and immigration issues. Interesting times.

As with all things, I'd like to cherry pick, but I can't. I would love to see the net zero and immigration bandwagon come to a screeching halt, but I'm not keen on closer ties with Putin.

Funny how 5 years ago while the Continentals were voting for Green and other left wing parties, we gave the Tories a big majority.

Now the tables have turned and as we lurch to the left, the Continentals are going in the opposite direction.

Wait until Starmer gives 16 year olds the vote. We could have left wing governments permanently.  >:(
He says they are old enough to pay  tax, so its only fair they should be allowed to vote.
I would propose to make it simpler still. If you pay tax you can vote. If you dont, you cant.  :)

I have no intention of ever voting again, they're all a bunch of useless cu**s & we are so deep in the shit we've got no chance of climbing back out. Just seen Starmer promise to build more prisons not a lot of use if you have no staff to manage them, they are leaving in droves, at my old establishment two new members of staff have committed suicide in the last four weeks.

Starmer has made cast iron promises not to raise the " big three" taxes.
So, watch out for your private pension funds. I expect them to be attacked, Gordon Brown style. And possibly a wealth tax and tax on nice houses.
We may not care when they tax multi millionaires on their wealth, or people who live in houses we couldnt afford, but once it starts it wont stop.
As the sums increasingly dont add up the threshold for the taxes will become ever lower.

The Belgian Government may as well be a civil service chat bot. :-X
