So...anybody ask for any of this?

Indeed, ipse elections are looming in the new year, who will make the leap from keyboard warrior to CC election candidate

Depending on the results of the governance consultation, and whether the CC will actually have any sway any more, it's something that I'm considering.

Posting on CUK will not change ipse policy, being on the Ipse CC committee will !!!

It's not exactly a high bar to get elected (just about a walk in) or if your female it is a walk in !!

Thus if several vocal CUK(ipse members) stand for the elections you can set policy rather than whinging about how bad it is.

You have a remarkable propensity for stating the bleedin' obvious.

My vote.

Are IPSE forum handles shown on the manifestos? Just want to make sure I don't vote for you

Indeed they are, look forward to see you standing next time

An excellent case in point. Since when has been asking a question "whinging"?

[TheFaQQer]

My vote.

Based on the last election, that's enough to get me onto the CC

Meanwhile only yesterday this Philip Ross character from IPSE posted another article:

2014-11-12 Why the UK should form a Freelancer Limited Company...

I read it yesterday. It really is crap.

To register, the freelancer would have to nominate themselves as the FLC’s sole operator (the single shareholder, so not a spouse) and agree to a fixed but fair salary-dividend split.
Note the fair(tm). I wonder who decides whats 'fair'.

In return, registered FLCs could be excluded from some of the more extreme issues of IR35, such as the need to supply a substitute and the need to have multiple clients on the go.
So, to avoid IR35 you have to have multiple clients and the right to substitute.

There would still be a requirement to demonstrate that the contract which a FLC has with a client is not one of employment
So no change then!

If Ipse had nothing to hide they would not hide it.

but as has become quite apparent they do have something to hide and are doing so.

My vote.

Mine too.

To be fair, I don't think that's the case. I suspect that they have been caught up in some type of closed-feedback loop in their discussions with HMRC et al and the PSCFLC idea has grown through a process of immersion. IYSWIM
