  • There are two sides of this coin.

    Should the rich be taxed more? Absolutely. I would personally introduce tax which keeps raising by 10% every 100k, up to 90% - irrespectively of the source of earnings so no “capital gains” gateway.

    Are some people taking the piss with benefits claims? Also absolutely yes. There was an article few weeks ago, I think in the Guardian where I think 4 benefits claimants told their stories. First one was a lady in her 50’ which used to work for a council and stopped working 30 years ago, in 90’ due to “anxiety and depression” and was never working since, relying on taxpayers - this is taking the piss.















  • Questions relevant to the vote - so for example in the Brexshit referendum, questions would be about the impact of Brexshit, amount of money paid to the EU etc.

    Selected by apolitical civil service, electoral commission etc.Yes, that may be challenging in certain countries where everything is political.





  • Meritocracy. Compulsory voting but one needs to pass a simple single choice test before being allowed to vote. Test would contain questions relevant to the vote and all the questions (pool of one or two hundred when the actual test would have up to 10 questions) would be publicly available before.

    Brexshit would never happened and most the populists/fascists would never be elected.
