    well i know that high corporation tax wouldn't help them, and a lower tax mean less incentive to shovel anything into off-shore tax havens. the problems you highlight are not dependent on corporation tax either way. the point i'm making is that its standard economic theory that corporation...

    if a cut in corporation tax could be shown to increase investment, promote growth of companies and create jobs, would you support it?

    given what he was doing with the prisons seemed pretty decent, might be sensible to leave him there and finish the job.

    EU commissioners are not elected by MEPs, they are appointed by government leaders and approved by the MEPs on an all or none basis. thats not what happens in our party leadership elections. our democracy process has flaws, if you made that point and left it you'd have a good point, you didnt...

    you might want to think about the demographic and the proper name for the party. they arent likely to go for inexperienced at this time, they'll plump for the safer option.
