regarding the tory party tv thingy, are there not any rules regarding one party getting tv exposure on a whatever the gently caress channel 4 is, without other parties getting the same? Or is that restricted to an general election or they used channel 4 to avoid rules? Cos like if you want to trick(lol) a population into thinking we're a one party state then this seems like it helps.

They did do televised debates for the Labour leadership, and it’s not just the Tory MPs that vote for this, the party members are the ones who make the final vote. In a way it’s good that they televise this as hopefully the general public can see the internal party insanity and be put off. I find it weird how many of you find it weird that they are televised though. I mean the party conferences are also televised. Would you prefer all of this just being hidden behind closed doors?

After my previous post fretting about the lack of bees in my garden, I can now confirm that there are TOO MANY BEES and must propose a cull. Seriously the butterfly bush in my back garden is ALIVE with them. It's genuinely noisy to be around. It's awesome.

One thing that's been really striking is that despite talk of tax cuts I don't think any of them have suggested cutting VAT, the one tax that has the biggest impact on prices and is most affected by inflation

You could sell it as a Brexit bonus, one of the more legitimate criticisms of the EU is their obsession with VAT as a way of raising revenue, and how that really best suits an industrial economy with large conglomerates rather than an SME service economy. There's an old joke that goes "Democrats think VAT is too regressive and the Republicans think it's too European. The only way you'll get America to implement it is to convince the Dems that it's European and the Republicans that it's regressive." Same goes in reverse with the Tories, the only way you'll get them on the anti-VAT train is to link it to the European project and stoke a popular anti-VAT sentiment that way.

The point of that old joke isn't that US sales taxes aren't a mess, it's that if you want to start an anti-VAT crusade your best bet is convincing the soft-left that it's regressive and the swivel eyed tories that it's EU boogalooga bearocracy red tape nation of shopkeepers. None of the latter care that it's regressive or exacerbating inflationary pressure.

Guavanaut posted:There's no federal sales tax, nor a VAT exchange mechanism between states like the EU has, and you get all kinds of bullshit like city and county sales taxes on top of state sales taxes, so it's even dumber than VAT, but supposedly easier for small businesses to calculate than VAT paperwork. The big thing is that US retail sales taxes have no cross-reporting requirements, unlike VAT, which means it’s difficult to impossible to trace tax evasion - and the reason why they don’t have just a federal VAT is basically that.

It's weird until you realise that this isn't for the voting public. This is a signal to Newspaper owners and rich cunts that he's a good boy who's going to govern somewhere to the Right of Theresa May and they're banking on it getting them enough favourable press that they won't be ratfucked into oblivion by the press. Looking at the polling numbers today it's not a bad strategy, it does however depend entirely on the press not immediately betraying them like they did with every Labour leader that tried this that wasn't godfather to Murdoch's hideous spawn.

My integer overflow is signed, it goes into the negatives and they're now a zillion pounds in debt. Then they take out a loan and it underflows back to positive figures i guess. The resulting wild fluctuations in positive and negative wealth makes it impossible to measure anything in the economy and in the ensuing chaos I buy myself a moderately sized house with public funds
