Its disgusting that these global companies are tax dodging in this way…. its not a new thing though and subsequent governments have allowed it to happen …. our tax system needs overhauling that’s for sure.
I have never voted UKIP… however neither do I label myself politically.
When the time comes to vote I have always looked at the manifestos of parties that attract me…. I also think about local issues and who my local candidate is. I try not to get swept away by the media hype in these things….. there are always ulterior motives and its easy to take quotes from members of all parties which are politically incorrect and can be sensationalised….
Its a minefield sorting out who stands for what… that’s why its good to also look at local issues and who is best informed and likely to make a difference. If they get it right locally the likelihood they will get it right for the country as a whole.
The world has changed so much since the last election so I am now undecided on the EU and Im still waiting for an informed debate about it… when I decide on that it may indicate who Im likely to vote for…. but right now Im certainly in the undecided camp.
Know’st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the heart feels a languid grief
Laid on it for a covering,
And how sleep seems a goodly thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?
I know a lot of Yorkshire farmers favoured UKIP last time around… something to do with the Common Agricultural Policy and the fact that Stuart Agnew the MEP representative is also a farmer and understands the issues from his own experience…. have to say he is persuasive…
I think all MPs should have life experience before entering politics… it gives them more credibility…. and how can they actually know what the issues are if they haven’t lived and worked in the “real” world
