Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIThe same way as people settle on many other positions: through thinking and through reading.(Original post by internetguru)
I don't care about weed but that economic position is hugely radical. How did you ever settle on such a position? Why would you want to pay stupidly high tax rates etc? -

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIHippy(Original post by obi_adorno_kenobi)
I actually answered the questions honestly. I've done this before and used to be a bit further towards the red bit. But these days I really couldn't care less if people have a bit of weed in their house, the police have better things to worry about. Economically, I've been in the same place for years.
I redid it last night, ended up bang centre of the left liber box. I'm about as socially liberal as I used to be but I seem to have moved back left economically. -

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIWe already had an EU referendum on TSR, and UKIP lost it.(Original post by internetguru)
Doesn't sound very UKIPish if I were a member of the party I would be questioning why you haven't demanded an EU referendum or anything yet. -

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIThe Carbon Tax would only come into effect in almost two years time (with some delays for Central and Eastern European nations), by which time the Eurozone crisis should be over (and there is an EU Treaty being planned to solve the crisis)(Original post by Maddog Jones)
I've voted no. I agree this is a workable idea, but it's the wrong time for Europe to implement this. It signals to markets that they're not taking the Eurozone crisis seriously, and it'd be hard for businesses to take another cut in their profits right now.
I'd support this measure in a boom time though, when businesses can adjust to it in more favourable circumstances.Last edited by stanlas; 16-06-2012 at 16:23. -

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIWell, it should be on TSR anyway (we're planning a treaty on this in MUN). Though I agree that in RL two years might be a bit optimistic(Original post by davidmarsh01)

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIJust because you lost a referendum one time doesn't mean you will lose it the next time. Opinions and personnel change over time.(Original post by stanlas)

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIHow could we ever tell? This isn't a simulator, and we can't just make complete guesses to suit whoever's viewpoint at the time.(Original post by stanlas)
