Monkey

I have voted in every election I’ve been eligible to and each election day I have a quick glance over the aims of all the candidates. This time there’s a BNP candidate. There’s not much to like about the BNP as far as I’m concerned they use the politics of fear and hate couched in a friendly and approachable language to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Apart from their policies regarding ‘mulitculturism’ - they’d ban it, there’s not much of note on the website. This section on income tax made me laugh though.

I’ll spare you the details but they wouldn’t raise taxes… unless they had to. They might mess about with them to meet their plans but not all at once and then they’d change them if they didn’t work. it’s hardly ‘read my lips no tax increases’ now is it?

Under the present regime, the state’s total take in taxes from the British people has risen by approximately 50%, and now stands at more than one third of our entire GDP. We are not a Thatcherite party and do not propose deep cuts in government spending, although we would massively reallocate it, eliminating entire national and local government departments which gobble taxpayers’ money to finance Politically Correct social engineering schemes and State interference in matters which are not its proper concern.

We nonetheless believe that the present level of taxation is roughly the limit the economy can bear and we pledge not to increase total taxes, as a percentage of GDP, above this level. Naturally, we may alter the mix of taxes so that some activities are taxed more than they are now and some less, but the total will not be allowed to increase.

The only exception we must make to this rule is if there is a recession, which naturally diminishes tax receipts and forces tax increases to satisfy rising demands for social benefits due to increased unemployment, or an international emergency beyond our control similarly impacting the British economy. To keep our pledge on taxes, we embrace a similar pledge on total spending levels.

However, within this framework of a constant percentage level of taxation, we propose several key reforms in the mix and manner of taxes. Any reforms we introduce will be imposed gradually, not precipitately, in order to allow evidence of their consequences to correct any defects in the initial scheme. Having seen the fiascoes of the present and past government, we are not going to rush into untried schemes.

Evil twatbags. Stick your policies up you wholesome British arses.
