The impact of AI technology on society, work and taxation
AI is changing work as we know it – putting not just low-skilled, but high-skilled jobs at risk, with major impacts on tax, education, and society

Thus is what I mean by politicians being honest. 'Grow the economy ', 'create jobs', 'the threat if AI', etc are all treated as separate items but they are so interrelated and to a degree contradictory and this is never openly discussed.

That is very true but my concern there is that with the coming of AI, government income from work-baaed taxes is likely to decrease. I wrote an article on this for West England bylines. lssue is that most people don't have much more to give in taxes and taxing those with money is the solution

I agree with the individual responsibility comment but I also think our political parties have a responsibility to be honest with us when promoting their agendas. It was this latter point I was trying to address with the idea of 'do it again' if turnout was too low.

But what is the point in forcing people to vote if none of the parties offer what someone can support? It also does not address the question that once elected, any / all parties policies are subject to approval of the markets, no matter what was promised in manifestos
