Challenge for the UKIP

[Mich the Tester]

You don't raise it by making it harder for working women to have children

...and going further, found this from OECD;

It is clear that labour market conditions do affect when people have children and how many they have. But this simple answer hides a dramatic change in the effect of labour markets on childbearing in the past 25 years. In the past, fertility rates were higher in those OECD countries where most women remained outside the paid labour market. Today, the reverse is the case: fertility rates are higher in those countries where women’s employment rates are higher. The type of work is also important. Birth rates are higher in countries where a larger share of women work part-time – suggesting that these jobs often provide women with an effective means to reconcile work and family responsibilities. For society as a whole, paid work and childbearing no longer substitute for each other. It remains true that women who have a paid job have fewer children than women who do not, but the extent to which this occurs has declined over time.

So it seems they're saying the determinant is the proportion of women working, and their option to work part time. There's no mention of rights for pregnant workers here, and I think the most important thing in getting the birth rate up is probably to get as many women as possible into work; something that threatens to raise the cost and risk of employing women is unlikely to help with that

So why don´t the UKIP MEP´s bring this corruption to the attention of the European Parliament and propose a motion to have the relevant commissioner sacked, which is the main function of the European Parliament.

Probably because they don't want to upset their own gravy train (and corruptness)

Or because they're all too pissed up in Brussels pubs to comprehend a word of what anyone's saying. More likely, their strategy is one of 'wrecking'; they want bad legislation to pass in the European parliament because that fuels the anger against the EU.

My goodness that's a hard one (said the actress to the bishop)

I suggest you just type in the word corruption and EU into Google add in any of its functions (CAP, Fisheries) and Bobs your uncle.

Did that (corruption EU CAP Fisheries) and there was nothing on the first page to show any corruption apart from the last entry which just happened to be from a UKIP (Devon) website) and the next entry is this thread...

You're suffering from a severe logic failure: is it likely that improved rights for pregnant women will lead to more particiaption in the workforce? Of course - and the rise in working women is possibly due to those rights that have come in over the last 20-30 years.

And your other logic failure is your rants about the French. You do know almost every study show that their productivity per worker is higher than Britain's and has been for decades? Since 2008, French growth has also been higher than Britain's in spite of the fact that they don't have their own currency to play with.
You seem to assume that Britain belongs to the Northern Europe group of nations, but its behaviour is more on a par with the Southern: extremely high debt (the highest per capita in Europe, 3rd highest in the world), "wealth" based on housing bubble and excessive debt.

I don't think so; I think that rights for women with children have contributed, but even more rights migt have no effect at all, or even a detrimental effect if employers choose men instead of women.

I am entirely with Mitch on this one. The cost of supporting pregnant women for small businesses is crippling and a pox on UKIP for endorsing this legislation. It is not just the direct cost but a pregnant woman is invulnerable to ANY form of the mildest challenge to her work, discipline, behaviour.

It´s basically a character assiassinations i.e. previous wrong doings, but what about actual
corruption?

...and what about corruption in the UKIP.
