BIG CONSERVATIVE WIN IN AUSTRALIA...

I knew the good folks of Australia wouldn't go down the same path of America................

CONSERVATIVE LANDSLIDE IN AUSTRALIAN ELECTIONS

The conservative key platform sounds like our Tea Party. Maybe our politicans will take a lesson from the "no compromise" attitude that lead to the Australian victory,

Conservative leaders emphasized a hard line against immigration, a carbon tax, and continual increases in government spending. This "no compromise" attitude became a key to victory.

Apparently the much hated Carbon Tax was a big part of the reason for voters supporting the Conservative Party........

Could Germany be next ?

German voters/consumers are about to receive some bad news. The government predicts that the renewable energy surcharge added to every consumer’s electricity bill will increase from 5.3 cents today to between 6.2 and 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour — a 20-percent price hike.

German consumers already pay the highest electricity prices in Europe. But because the government is failing to get the costs of its new energy policy under control, rising prices are already on the horizon. Electricity is becoming a luxury good in Germany, and one of the country’s most important future-oriented projects is acutely at risk. . .

In the near future, an average three-person household will spend about €90 a month for electricity. That’s about twice as much as in 2000.

Two-thirds of the price increase is due to new government fees, surcharges and taxes. But despite those price hikes, government pensions and social welfare payments have not been adjusted. As a result, every new fee becomes a threat to low-income consumers.
