Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by David.

When you have a go at answering my questions I’ll have a go at answering yours. Not really helpful answering a comment with questions with different questions!

As a sign of good faith I’ll answer one:

“you must have a good job no one taking it from you yet are you happy with your taxes will you be happy when vat is increased in the new year”

I’m self employed, run my own search engine optimisation business (all online) with most of my clients coming from the US, and so it’s very important to me that the world economy is doing well. Because of what the banks did I’ve lost clients, but before the problems I was turning business away (mainly due to my health) and so it wasn’t hard to find new clients to make up what I’d lost. Almost every business online is looking for the skills I have, so I can be picky with who I work with.

Actually since I had an operation on my back early this year and I’m getting stronger I’ve taken on a few extra clients, so overall things are looking very good.

And yes I’m happy to pay more tax to protect public workers jobs and get better services, when I had my back operation (two discs fused and pinned) on the NHS the care I received wasn’t perfect, but considering the problems they are experiencing (it’s a black hole for money!) I was quite impressed. There’s some really hard working and caring people in the NHS and I thank them for keeping me healthy: 4 hour operation, 6 days in hospital, no complications and I was pleasantly surprised at the food (I’m quite fussy with food). My only complaint is they didn’t listen to me about the pain medication I’d need, been on pain meds for 15 years and I’ve built up a tolerance, several days of excruciating pain before they got the dose high enough!

The VAT increase doesn’t bother me in the least, in case you didn’t notice a lot of businesses didn’t really pass on the savings to customers (was a bit of a non event for consumers IMO)! For example I don’t recall seeing products in Iceland dropping from £1 to 97.5p, so it resulted in businesses making more money.

I bet I don’t get a response to my questions, especially this one:

Please tell me a better country than ours? With how you bitch about Britain all the time you must prefer other countries.
