Thoughts EU referendum
Conservative party promise of european union referendum had to be completed after the general election. David Cameron has spent the last couple of months visiting European union leaders talking about negotiations ahead of the united kingdom referendum. Average British voter is conservative don’t like radical change, sceptical of the state. Plus the average British voter does not follow politics closely only follows it for couple of weeks. David cameron is quite showman for this group targeting his messages directly to them. Historic polling has show immigration concern to be always level no matter the figure. Once again historic polling shows european union to be low on the list of concerns. Voters care more about jobs, schools, NHS even have better knowledge on these subjects. British voters have been shown be ignorant when comes towards european union. British support free movement but deeply sceptical of others coming here. Conservative party created a campaign to focus on non problem but turned it into a problem. In work benefits have been the main focus, full negotiation was never going to happen. David Cameron has showed he wants to stay in by targeting this non issue as an issue. Referendum has been designed to answer populist politics minor concern for voters and keep eurosceptic MPs happy. Referendum therefore for small group within the Conservative party given talking about just immigration. Voter apathy is justify given how the united kingdom parties have acted. Unknown Jeremy Corbyn views on European union guessing he more Conservative compared to the Conservative party. Poor media management means we don’t know his views.
European union faces a crisis with no leadership or desire to change. David Cameron could been leading the charge for reformed union dealing head on with issues at hand. Negotiations could seen minor changes to the tax systems across all european union nations. Country by country reporting of taxes paid, ending tax havens taking real action against tax avoidance. Reforming the migrant system within union so easier to come here by legal channels linking up all nations under the same system. Further cooperation when comes to information sharing and resource sharing. David Cameron does not have any desire to change shape of europe or united kingdom. Negotiations narrow focus on this non issue tells the whole story about europe. Any talk of anything different is viewed as radical nonsense but that what caused this negotiation in the first place. Failure to answer voter concerns has created an even bigger problem. Immigrant problem is more economic with dose of social policy failure.
Problem with politics subject is complex patchwork quilt. Some of my views could be conservative, liberal, socialist. Not even sure on the definition of each of these due to vast range of subjects.
Conservative reforms
Original reforms have pretty much disappeared not going to lie I have no idea on newest reform being put forward. Emergency brake for in work benefits, got no idea what reforms mean in total. Some within the party want the impossible to happen others just want to be seen as doing something.
Reforms I want
Tax reforms country by country reporting
Tax standardize across member states
Universal migration system legal channels with shared resources/funding
Standardize cooperation when comes to information sharing
ECB monetary policy reform changing mandate
Fiscal policy expansion
Euro bonds
Improving the economic situation at the heart of the eurozone. Unlikely that any of the above is going to happen no desire to improve European union. Likely to vote for remain but don’t agree with David Cameron changes which are window dressing.
