Introduction

Some law proposals and other votes for you, my constituents to review my voting. I do warn you that this is fairly long however hopefully will give you, my constituents an insight into how I've spent my time representing you in Congress so far

You may also contact via personal message to discuss any Congressional issues or concerns you may have as it's your right and my duty to listen.

Law Proposals and Votes

Four law proposals were on-going as I was elected in so I thought I'd exercise my democratic right granted to me by those fine citizens who cast their votes for the WRP coalition

VAT & Import Taxes: Grain

Value added tax (VAT) to remain at 0%
Import tax to increase to 50% from 2%

I voted No. I believe import tax for grain should remain at low levels to help keep market prices down for the British consumer.

The vote ended;
5 YES votes to 31 NO votes

VAT & Import Taxes: Food

Value added tax (VAT) to remain at 10%
Import tax to increase to 50% from 1%

I voted No. Once again like grain I believe import tax for food should remain at low levels to help keep market prices down for the British consumer.

The vote ended;
3 YES votes to 30 NO votes

MPP
President of United Kingdom proposed a mutual protection pact with Albania


I voted YES. I've known many Albanians and they've been good friends to me and staunch allies when needed and the UK needed good allies at the time of voting. Unfortunately this proposal was rejected by my fellow Members of Congress.

The vote ended;
19 YES votes to 23 NO votes in the UK
24 YES vote to 3 NO votes in Albania

MPP
President of Brazil proposed a mutual protection pact with United Kingdom


I voted YES. A fellow Sirius alliance member who we are in a pact with for mutual protection, mutual advantage and mutual gain.

The vote ended;
30 YES votes to 6 NO votes in the UK
1 YES vote to 0 NO votes in Brazil

On to law proposal proposed during this term

Minimum Wage

Minimum wage change from 0.1 GBP to 10 GBP

I voted No. This is to support the commune worker, those citizens who choose to work for goods as oppose to GBP. The eUK job market is also in such a state that a wage above 10 GBP can be easily obtained.

The vote ended;
2 YES votes to 29 NO votes

VAT & Import Taxes: Defense System

Value added tax (VAT) to increase to 25% from 1%
Import tax to increase to 99% from 1%

I voted No. The average UK citizen is not affected by VAT and Import Taxes for Defence Systems however I felt taxation levels should remain low if this situation ever changes.

The vote ended;
4 YES votes to 30 NO votes

VAT & Import Taxes: Weapons

Value added tax (VAT) to remain at 1%
Import tax to increase to 15% from 8%

I voted No. I believe import tax for grain should remain at low levels to help keep market prices down for the British consumer.

The vote ended;
4 YES votes to 27 NO votes

President Impeachment
Do you want the current president of United Kingdom to end this office?
N W G

I voted NO. I'd only vote to impeach our democratically elected country president on grounds of gross incompetence, corruption, inactivity or strong will of the people. Like every citizen I'd have my own criticisms of N W G's term and team however I'd also have praise too so I see no reason why N W G can not finish his term. Horice (2nd in the last CP elections) is a legend and deserved a chance to be CP however not like this...Congress also a responsibility to ensure the CP is active, it may only be two days however if the reasons for N W G's impeachment aren't well communicated it'll lead to international and domestic confusion.

The vote stands Day 2,356 of the new world at 00:29;
15 YES votes to 7 NO votes

Speaker Vote and the votes to expel either/both New Era elected Memembers of Congress and TUP/Dental Corps Members of Congress

First I'll let you review the vote and results.




Q2 Reduced to two options for clarity


First thanks to Squizza for arranging all the votes. My thoughts were on these votes were until a Member of Congress resigns I think we need to discuss matters with them via the Congress mails so I voted against the bans of any member of Congress. I also strongly encouraged all my fellow members to vote no to any bans too with the argument that as long as they have Member of Congress in their profile they have the powers associated with the role.

I'd also stressed whoever was successful as Speaker must do their best to remain impartial as I believe this is a vital aspect of the role. My vote for Speaker of the House was cast in the favour of Rob the Bruce.

Closing thoughts

While thinking out loud with my fellow members of Congress I brought up the issue of taxation. I've long been in favour of more taxation and increase government spend "redistribute the wealth" and wanted to gather their thoughts and opinions.

As another benefit to increase taxation could have been;
Say I'm a Serbian PTO'er...

Let's look at the benefits of moving to the UK;

1)PTO the UK for the "lolz"

2)Economic vacation;
Work Tax Serbia 5.00% UK 1.00%
Food VAT Serbia 9.00% UK 10.00%
Weapon VAT Serbia 3.00% UK 1.00%
Average wage Serbia 23.59 RSD UK 27.03%

3) A chance of Congressional Representation

Now lets look at the negatives of moving to the UK;

1) Some hostility

2) A decent ATO movement

I think we are doing a good job on the ATO actions with the possible exception of controlling CS passes however I asked if we should be considering making the UK less appealing to hostile Serbian Citizens this would mean those who move to the UK are those who really want to take part and support the society we've formed.

Of course this would have to be supported by some sort of rebate scheme and benefit scheme to ensure we don't punish the 95% of good honest UK citizens (including those citizens from all nationalities who choose to be a UK citizens and contribute to our fine society, some Serbians included).

This idea gain support from some of my fellow Members of Congress however their were more Members of Congress openly opposed to any changes to the current tax levels so I took this no further.

I've written more than enough however hopefully I've given you an insight into how I've spent my time representing you in Congress so far. Once again I encourage comment however please remember one of my Congressional aims is to encourage respect in public dialogue to set a positive example that elevates the quality of politics in our country. This should enable a more intelligent dialogue on public issues to attract all citizens to take part. So I ask you to bear this in mind with your own contributions.
