[ILUG] Canvassing and politicians

[Patrick Stack]

I'll be requiring all politicians to sign their names to my own list of
'non-negotiables' (to use their jargon) which include the following:

    * a reduction of 50% to all politicians salaries,
    * an absolute ceiling of 200,000 Euros per annuum for all civil
      servants and bank officials in the upper tier of management
    *  an immediate stop to the payment of ministerial pensions to
      politicians who are still working and under 65
    * Removal of all ministerial cars - the ministers can use their own
      transport and pay for their own petrol like the rest of us
    * Rollout of proper reasonably priced high speed broadband
      infrastructure throughout the country

And that's just for starters.

If they refuse to sign, then I'll be telling them to go fsck themselves.
