The inclusion of party details on the ballot paper is a recent practice. In the good old days one was not allowed to provide any details of candidates' party affiliations in polling stations and therefore the window stickers were very popular. This move to include party affiliations on ballot papers was, in my opinion, a move down the slippery slope and probably introduced so as to make the practice of voting for parties in the EU Parliament elections not appear at odds with the British way. And now they want us to fund parties too!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-88238932965616167692011-11-14T19:47:08.967+00:002011-11-14T19:47:08.967+00:00I wonder how long they'll keep laughing?

The governments, past and present, know what to do, that is raise the necessary taxation revenue to pay for their expenditure. Quite simple, except that no-one pays their taxes - in Greece people are driving around in Porches, have huge mansions and get away with declaring that their income is a mere 20-30,000 euros! There is no incentive for the tax people to do anything about it as they are doing the same. In Italy there is the added complication of the Mafia!<br />If they actually managed to collect the tax that people should be paying, there wouldn't be a problem.English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-13708756315133848952011-11-14T11:05:01.288+00:002011-11-14T11:05:01.288+00:00I doubt very much that they'll be laughing whe...I doubt very much that they'll be laughing when the Italians find out that their country has just been taken over in the EU protection racket.
