In my opinion, this is the two parties trying to make the headlines. Get their names in the papers as doing good by going 'green.' I'm sorry, but this is economical suicide for one of the UK's largest industries.
How on god's given earth is it a good idea for the UK to punish their own businesses more so than others abroad?! Is there a word for the complete opposite of protectionism? Punishmentism?
It makes me laugh how LD's want reform on our voting system yet being the third part in the general election, both on seats and percentage of the vote, they get to apply their policies as law and have their leaders sat on the front bench of the oldest 'democracy' in the world.
I dread to think what state this country is going to be in in four years time...Anyway, this isn't a political forum, but the economics behind this are completely insane...
