I'll have a pint of what he's drinking please... it appears to do weird things to the mind... and I could do with a mental holiday (can't afford a real one!)

Re: Pay frozen for third year running

My point is that since business had gone "Globalised", then to regulate them and manage their effects, Governments also need to "Globalise"

My plan does not just involve force, but though democratic means, I can tell you why people who vote "yes" for this plan:

1: The Kurds and other "Unrepresented Peoples" can finally have their own state

2: War between nations will stop (along with a strong focus on law and order)

3: The wealth of the world can be spread to developing nations

4: People in developing nations can have higher incomes and free high quality education and healthcare

5: People in developing nations will no longer be exploited

6: Religious and LGBT freedom and rights can be spread worldwide

7: Religion will no longer be closely linked to government, politics etc.

8: A lot of the world’s conflicts will end

9: No Religion or race will dominate another

10: Tax Evasion and Avoidance will end

11: People in Developed Nations will no longer have governments that care about the rich, so they can have higher wages and benefits

12: Governments across the world will no longer puppets for the rich

13: Business will no longer care just about profits, but about their employees as well

14: Poverty will go down!

15: Poltical and Relgious extremism will decline!

And that is just is the start!

In other words, a fresh new start for humans and the earth!

Because their economies were not fully intergreated, and also it was done in a way that only helped the rich (who could avoid it as well)

No systems are perfect and I have no doubt that the current ones will evolve but some socialist utopia isn't going to come about because human nature is against it. We as a race are selfish, that is the animal inside us: Like any animal we want to take all the resorces we can get our hands on and keep them for ourselves and deny others access to them.

Quite simply we are not created equal.

But that is to diverge from the topic.

Pay is frozen because the country has been paying itself too much for too long and there has to be a re-balancing. That also means a reduction in living standards as we are weaned off the credit boom of the noughties.
Yes, but this current economic and social system is no longer benefiting the general public, only the rich, it also caused this great depression. The REAL reason why Pay is frozen is because they rich have taken control of democracy and capitalism and used to benefit themselves that ended up causing the worst depression since the 1930s. To pay for the rich then exploit we even more (after taking away union power and the benefits that came with it)!!!

P.S. I do not want to abolish Capitalism and Democracy, but radically reform it!!!
