    Perhaps elections should run every year instead of 5. That would give incentive to the ruling party to stop fooking over people in the 1st year of hoping they will forget it in 5 years.

      Then there would be even more short term thinking...

          What a rollercoaster of a thread

          Maybe with the 7.5% increase I can be allowed to buy a cup of coffee from the slightly subsidised onsite costa instead of drinking nescrappy gold blend

                Over 50% thinking of giving up Ltd and 1 in 5 in the poll thinking about winding up, but you have to wonder how long MVL has left now Gosbo has decided we are fair game it can't be long before that option is shut. It seems to me contracting is set to become a second class citizen game (much like in the US). Not long before your average contractor is Indian, on a low rate, has ambitions to be a permie. Old school contractors will end up overseas or retired/semi retired. This really is a horrible administration of cronyism and old school ties, worse than New Labour IMHO. They are going to end up with less tax that's for sure.

                  I'm seriously looking at going to Australia in the next couple of years. The 7.5% is just the start, every budget it will be bumped up as it makes good headlines 'evil business owners pay more tax, yay' or 'fat cats to be reemed again'
