Description[?]:
| From the desk of Keith Dewsbury... The old flat tax system is absolutely appalling and results in the poorest ending up the worst off. I have proposed a progressive taxation system as a means of wealth redistribution and to ensure taxation is fairer to all. The tax is still fairly low compared to what we believe it should be, this can be altered in years to come depending upon the governments reform program. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
