Yep, until that election is out of the way, it's all chit chat, and then anything can happen according to who wins, by what majority and if they're still interested. But hey, at least the issue is being discussed at the top levels, and hopefully making the tax (thieves imo) nervous. (Yeah, I know there are a number of people here who will stand on their far right hind legs and yell and scream about that expression ..... stiff!)
