| Message | We oppose, and would rather spend the surplus on increased welfare, subsidy for farms, etc. Our industry is not being damaged by these taxes, so we find their present level to be acceptable. |

| Message | I am in favour of lowering taxes as far as they would go - the government should not have a huge surplus - but in light of recently proposed large spending programmes I think these changes are too dramatic. I would be willing to support a less drastic reduction as long as it did not put us in the red, as I fear this may. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
