So who on CUK is voting Labour?

[DimPrawn]

Already voted Labour.

You're missing the point completely. Voting on principles that you believe in doesn't make you a hypocrite.

It makes you ******* stupid is what it does.

It makes you ******* stupid is what it does.

I think you're confusing the definition of the word hypocrite.

If someone has principles and there is a party that backs those principles, then to not vote for them would by hypocritical. If you have no principles, then that's a different matter - but to have principles and to vote for the party which supports those principles is neither hypocritical nor stupid.

So - do you vote for the party that doesn't align with your principles, or do you have no principles?

I vote Tory.

Does that answer your question.

You realise it's MF, right?

[Martin Scroatman]

My pen did tentatively hover over the box next to the Labour candidate in 1997 but I was dissuaded by a sudden thought that my right hand may wither and drop off if I were to perform such a deed.

Not really - I guess it's the latter, though.

Any contractor using legal tax avoidance techniques and preaching from the moral high ground is an ocean going hypocrite.

That can only be true if you feel what we do is morally wrong. I use a Ltd company to supply consultancy services to a range of clients and I pay the tax that is required by both the "spirit" and the letter of the law. There's nothing underhand, there's no "scheme", there's no "cleverness" - I merely do as suggested on the HMRC website.

I also paid more tax last year than I did the year before as a permie. As I wouldn't have been able to earn this much as a permie last year, that's a net win for the country is it not?

Either way, while many of you may simply be permanent staff in disguise I'm not and I have absolutely nothing to feel ashamed about.

Well bully for you. I am sure Philip Green and gary Barlow , HSBC feel the same
