55 academics have opposed Corbyn

Said this would happen in the other thread. Whilst those headlines about business's/economists/accountants/mymatefromthepub supporting x candidate are interesting, it never takes long for the other side to present an identical version.

Exactly. No doubt this thread will go ignored by his supporters.

There'll be plenty of ad-homs against those who oppose him, I'm sure.

In the FT today.

Just wanted Corbynites to realise they do not have the full support of the academic world.

Corbyn can and will raise a lot of tax, it just depends on whether people will stay put to pay the tax. My guess is no.
I wouldn't go as far and say he'll raise 120 billion. I'd say half of that at most. He can claw back a lot of money through cuts to business subsidies.

And then the effects of raising corporation tax especially with quite hefty minimum wage rises seems like there's going to be a huge blowout in the low skilled private sector employment market.

I wonder if these endorsements or opposition actually sway people, its hardly a shock that you can find various people who support and oppose.



Probably even less that that. All that will happen is that all the firms registered to pay global profits here (and then avoid it) will register globally abroad and then even if the comrade clamps down hard, they'll only have to pay the profit they make in the UK (a much smaller market).

Individuals are much more fickle so depending how high he actually goes will dictate where they go or whether they'll put up with it.

Genuinely think he's the sort of person that would charge 60% on all incomes above £45000 let alone the £150000.

I doubt most people care about what academics have to say. Surprised that such economic parasites even have the balls to call out Corbyn on his policies

That would be mental. £45k isn't THAT much, so why should someone earning that have to give away more than half their money?

Why should anyone have to pay that percentage, for that matter? 40% of £100k is more than 40% of £30k. Heck, 40% of £100k is more than £30k. I don't get why higher earners should pay a higher percentage, when they're paying more anyway.

Link?

Can you honestly not look for it yourself?

How absurd. If you're making a case or alleging an article the onus is on you to provide the link. Otherwise I may as well post a thread declaring ' corbyns plans endorsed by half the world' if I'm not going to bother providing a link.

This is absolutely ridiculous. All you need to do it google '55 academics Corbyn FT'. I'm not positing an argument of my own and therefore don't need to give evidence. It's a piece of information that you can access in about 5 seconds. Complete laziness. I gave the source - literally all you need to do is google it. I'm sure if I do provide the link you'll complain I haven't jumped out of your computer screen to click on the link for you.
