- www.londonderrychamber.co.uk
- Real politics, real taxes.
- It is this ideological shift that is the real story of the week rather than the minor changes within the tax system which have been the main focus of media and business attention.
- For once, the choice is clear, increased expenditure necessitates higher taxes. ...
- In contrast, within the Republic the cumulative impact of the last five budgets within the Republic of Ireland, according to the Conference of Religious in Ireland (CORI), was to widen inequality showing a clear policy difference between Britain and the Republic. ...
- For businesses within NI, the outlook is for increasing levels of taxation (driven by Labour) with corresponding improvement in public service provision but at a real cost in terms of the competitive position of NI vis-à-vis the Republic. ...
- Thus while intense discussion takes place concerning the allocation of the existing NI budget, of which only about only 5% is discretionary, the real debate about the overall level of taxation within Northern Ireland is carefully avoided. ...
- However, until clear debate takes place on the contentious issue of NI tax-raising whether through rates, water charges or other methods then the ideological positions of the parties remain obscured. ...
- So long as this is the case, long-term investment decisions will be hindered as business people attempt to second guess the real intentions of the political parties here.
- New/Old Labour’s position is clear, as is that of the present Coalition government within the Republic, what is now needed is for the parties within NI to declare their hand, they cannot hide behind the fig leaf of the Barnett Formula forever. ...

5. Model 1
- www.dadalos.org
- At the top of this hierarchy are politicians, making political decisions and giving impetus to the "real world". ...
- This model would appear to be very simple indeed and conforms well with the idea of the media as the servant of politics, as described in the fable on the previous page. ...
- The most important reason for supposing a pre-eminent role for parties and politics in the communications process is the fact that they are the ones with the active part. ...
- Because of their ability to offer only vocal alternatives and their inability to back them up with facts, parties in opposition have a clear strategic disadvantage in setting the political agenda. ... This kind of polarization, however, tends only to benefit the smaller parties which have a clear ideological base and impetus (. ...
- The ruling party's advantage is frustrated by two factors, firstly, clear mistakes by the government and, secondly, the independence of the press - which we will be discussing in more detail in the next model (. ...
- A new and central issue is "symbolic politics", that is, the staging of (supposed) political reality by parties and politicians. According to critics, there is a growing tendency towards marketing politics as a public relations exercise. ... Critics say that there is no longer any interest in making political decisions transparent and that the focus is now on the surface structure and the demonstrative appearance of politics. ... "The basic premise is that the communicative veil of symbolic politics often serves in concealing more than it reveals. ...
- ) This is also one of the basic problems associated with the so plausible and popular differentiation between "just" symbolic politics and actual "real" politics. Given that the media is the main source of almost all information for the majority of the electorate, where does this leave "real" politics? Isn't it true that the lines between the two are being blurred? Are we in real danger of living in a world where politics takes place according to the Potemkim principle: "Only that which is seen is real, only that which is real is effective. " Is political symbolism bad, because it is manipulative, and real politics good, because it is tactile? Isn't it true that party's ideas and visions are also being put in the dock, despite the fact that many regard them as good symbols? And aren't extreme poverty and severe corruption characteristic of an exceptionally bad political reality? Not only does this lead us to an argument about a constructive media theory, but also to more fundamental epistemological problems. There are also a great number of further questions that shake the foundations of the top-down model, which supposes centralized control of the media and public opinion by politics. ...

6. Lean Left: Hastert Values Politics over National Security

- « Are We Clear? | Main | Slush Spam » February 25, 2004.
- Hastert Values Politics over National Security.
- Apparently, politics mean more to Hastert and the Republicans than the lives of American citizens: But Hastert cast serious doubt on its prospects for passage in the Republican-controlled House. ...
- Because they are worried about politics. A real leader would recognize that the American people's safety was paramount. A real leader would deal with the electoral fallout, because a real leader would recognize the meaning of the oath he took to defend the nation. A real leader would not put his electoral future or his party's electoral future ahead of his nation's safety. A real leader would not try to hide information the American people will need to make the important decisions that they will face in the coming months and years.
- It is pretty clear that Bush and Hastert are not real leaders. And it's pretty clear that the Republican Party is content having its leaders obstruct the most important investigation since Pearl Harbor. It is also pretty clear that we cannot trust the Republicans in power to ever choose correctly when the choice is between losing a couple of percentage points off their approval ratings and protecting the nation.
- They had a chance to, at the least, take real steps to prevent what happened on 9/11 from ever happening again. And they chose to play politics with it. ...

8. trinicenter.com | No real Politics in the Tobago PNM’s first Budget
- www.trinicenter.com
- No real Politics in the .
- The budget statement presented by Chief Secretary Orville London on June 25 this year contains fairly clear statements of how his PNM executive council intends to develop Tobago in the fiscal year 2001/2002, but it is practically devoid of real politics.
- It is the Tobago PNM’s first budget statement, one that comes after more than 20 years of unbroken DAC/NAR governance of Tobago during which the politics of Tobagonian nationalism was preached (and embraced by a majority of Tobagonians), especially in the Hochoy Charles years, and one would have thought that the PNM would have seized the opportunity to promote that nationalism since it is uncontroversial that Charles lost out, not because of his nationalistic fervour, but because of his financial adventurism and his absurd attempt at Doctor Politics. ...
- It is clear that the PNM did not grasp the NAR’s baton of negotiable nationalism but picked up its own weather-worn baton of acquiescent accommodation where it fell a quarter of a century or so ago.
- What I am criticising is the total absence in the statement of a) any notion of autonomy in the raising and generation of development capital, b) plans for the creation of structures for such an autonomy, c) the politics by which such autonomy will be achieved. ...
- There seems to be a clear contradiction between the goals of empowerment and control of destiny, on the one hand, and a lack of control over matters like budget funding and revenue generation, on the other.
- It is far from clear to me how a people can ‘seize the opportunity to take control of their destiny’ in a situation of lack of control over their income and expenditure in the sense suggested above. ...
9. The State of Politics
- www.shepherd-express.com
- The State of Politics - Volume 19, Issue 49, December 3, 1998 - ©1998 API. ...
- When Wisconsin is spending more taxpayer dollars than at any time in its history to build and operate new prisons, and when as many as one out of every three people who occupies those prisons ends up committing another crime, it is clear that the state must explore alternative approaches to the failed lock-'em-up-and-throw-away-the-key mentality.
- And there is no question that the only real solution to crime is a recommitment of public resources to prevention, along with a recognition that real prevention has more to do with job creation and community development than it does with "scared straight" videos.
- By their nature, "faith-based" programs are controversial, not least because they raise the fear that religions might use public facilities and state dollars to promote their take on God--which would be a clear violation of the separation between church and state that is spelled out in the federal Constitution and even more clearly detailed in the state document.

- Bankruptcy of rationality morality: Real crisis .
- Enslaved by one's own murkiness and self-devouring negativism, one foolishly drives on against the popular current, trying to ride the horse of vested interest power politics only. ... As soon as this is done, things will at once become as transparent as the snows on a clear sunny day. ...
- But in the real analysis, these are nothing but heaps of humbugs. ... Most needed are the right bent of mind, non-corroded political morality and rational positive attitude, towards understanding the real crux of what the country and people are aspiring for today. Those causing the prevalent tense condition, are jostling in their own narrow arena of desperation from failed politics. This is due to the ailment of bankruptcy of rationality, clear vision and moral values on their own parts. ...
- Can any one deny this turbidity of perception on their part? They are lost in the cosmos of their own irrationality, non-clear thinking and dim vision about the hostile political terrain through which the whole nation is perilously traversing. ...
- Some already gone senile and paranoid fail to analyse in clear terms, the critical issues of peace and security being faced by the nation. ...
- The crystal clear fact, which the avaricious party leaders, although accepting it inwardly, are making futile efforts to show their offensive, only to confuse the public. ... Have they not transformed the people's aspiration for secured and peaceful living into horrid skeleton? Do they not realize that the ghostly Dracula or Frankstein of their own dirty politics and conspiratorial treachery, to sabotage national interest are hovering in the horizon of their own stinted power scrambling disposition? Are they not deeply drowned in it, finding no way out of the ever-widening maze of confusion? .
- The ultimate disaster of civil unrest in the atmosphere of volatile politics, advancing like hot lava from the erupting volcano will definitely erase everything on its way. ...

- Real Clear Politics also directed us to this piece by Stuart Taylor on racial preferences at colleges and universities. Taylor claims that because de facto "resegregation" of state colleges and universities is unacceptable to the "body politic," the real choice on this issue is between Michigan style preferences and "other strategems," such as the Texas top ten percent plan, designed to preserve racial diversity. ...
- Taylor's piece illustrates, first of all, why the Bush Administration briefs were so unfortunate -- they give the impression that true colorblindness is politically unacceptable and thus not part of what Taylor calls "the real choice confronting the Court and the nation. ...

- www.bostonphoenix.com
- In national politics, 1997 was a year for complacency, the status quo, and "golf, golf, golf".
- It is far too early to judge the real effects of last year's sweeping new welfare law.
- In its glibness and irresponsibility, "the debate is over" serves as a kind of slogan for national politics in 1997. ...

- But his commission on race stubbornly resisted real intellectual discourse, shutting out leading conservatives -- both black and white -- who represent millions of Americans with doubts about affirmative action. ...
- For most of the year, politics in America was little more than a hollow shell.
- Even as the deal was hammered out, it was clear that the strong economy was well on its way to balancing the budget on its own. Washington took the credit for that, but the only real achievement of the bill may be to throw us back into debt when its back-loaded tax cuts take full effect in a few years.
- But that would have required some real debate. ...
- Perhaps Senator John Breaux of Louisiana, a Clinton friend, best summed up the president's attitude: "It's golf, golf, golf -- interspersed with politics. ...
- For a few days in the heat of summer, would-be ambassador to Mexico Bill Weld led us to believe there might be a real debate over the future of the Republican party. ...
- And just when the panel was delving into the real substance of reforming the system -- at last, a chance to debate! -- the Republicans put the kibosh on it. ...
- That's because their less insane ideas -- balancing the budget, cutting the capital gains tax, scaling back welfare -- now constitute mainstream politics. ...
- But where were the liberals? With the budget coming into balance, now is the time to end the deficit-era politics of "reactionary liberalism" and to argue on behalf of government as an active force for good. ...
- By the waning weeks of 1997, the left was beginning to show some spunk, and there was hope that liberals, at least, might be bringing national politics back to life.
- Throw in the growing momentum of the 2000 presidential election, and national politics just might return to life. It's already become clear that we can count on rollicking, historic debates over global warming and Republican plans to reform the US tax system.

- www.usis-israel.org.il
- Under Secretary of State for Economic, Business and Agricultural Affairs told the press November 18 that the Fourth Middle East North Africa economic conference "was a real success (and) is a testament to the sustained international business interest in a region that has for too long been outside the mainstream of the international economy. ...
- "Above all this conference has sent a clear message that even at a time of real strain in the peace process, the Middle East remains open for business and for prosperity," he said. ...
- Let me state very clearly at the outset that this conference was a real success. ... Business bucked politics and won. Those who failed to come lost an opportunity to make it clear that politics will no longer be the overriding and sole consideration for business in this region. ...
- They made clear they are ready to move toward a future in which openness will be a source of competitive advantage, and national strength. ...
- Above all this conference has sent a clear message that even at a time of real strain in the peace process, the Middle East remains open for business and for prosperity. The real story is that despite setbacks in the peace process the region remains attractive to world class companies. ...
- This conference represented real progress. ...
- When a signal is sent that politics are going to continue to dominate, when you have these kinds of business opportunities, business people who are turning out eager to invest in an area that has not been an investment opportunity, for sure you'll have some contracts, but you won't have the quantum leap in investment, you won't have the opportunity to reduce investment barriers. ...
- But we can't separate between the regional cooperation and the politics. ... How do you deal with a state with which we can't deal in politics? .
- Q: Obviously you are trying to put the best face on things in terms of saying that the economics dominated the session rather than the politics of it. ... If you have one party in a central political confrontation in the region which is perceived by all the Arabs the Arab world and other countries as having not only not honored past commitments, but having no intention to give a whole people any kind of rights to self-governance in the real sense. ...
- UNDER SECRETARY EIZENSTAT: I want to make it clear that I'm not suggesting that the peace process could somehow magically be removed from the context in which we operate. ... She has made very clear statements about what she intends and expects from each party. ...

- At the end of the day, many would like to see a system where local governments can share the bounty generated by income taxes so that they are less dependant on real estate taxes for their primary funding.
- They were paralyzed mostly by politics and posturing.
- While he no longer seems to be pushing for such, he nevertheless has made it clear that if no workable reforms are put forth for the next General Assembly to consider, then he'll offer up his own package.
- It's clear that the Republican House and Senate can block the Democratic governor; it's also clear that the governor can muster up enough votes (at times, when the issue is big enough) to stymie the legislature.
- But despite the incongruous timing and nature of it all, we can always hope that - in yet this fourth attempt - the politics of tax reform will be separated from the hard policy decisions that need to be made. ...
