    If they would just acknowledge and apologise for some of their mistakes they would have a far easier side rallying people together.
    And have it thrown in their face in the next election? No way; they will continue to blame everyone else including the opposition and Chutlu until the sun dies down. Now once they are elected again they MIGHT admit a very minor part of the guilt and then quickly point out how the opposition are so much more guilty though.

    I think he meant that people on 50k would pay an additional 1500 per. their levy increases from 1% to 4%

    50,000 @ 1% = 500
    50,000 @ 4% = 2000

    is this what he meant ?

    ouch ouch ouch

    I think they're trying to get it in under the radar, I agree in that they should just reduce it
