Thunderstruck Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 8 hours ago, redjambo said: Bloody hell, the stats in that article are all over the place. "Some 42 percent of Czechs and 40 percent of Slovaks agree with Czechoslovakia's division on January 1, 1993" "The 1993 establishment of the independent Czech Republic and Slovakia was given a positive rating by 53 percent of Czechs and 51 percent of Slovaks." ??? Also: "However, roughly two-thirds of both Czechs and Slovaks are of the view that the split without a referendum was wrong." - this appears to mean that 2/3 believe that it shouldn't have taken place, not that they are unhappy with the situation as it is at the moment. Or perhaps they thought that the split without a referendum was wrong, not necessarily that the split itself was wrong. Who knows? The translation into English has not done this topic any favours at all. Given that you're knowledgeable on the subject, can you get your hands on the actual results of the polls referred to in the article (in the original languages preferably) so that we can try and make sense of them? The link makes sense if you read it as distinct sections with questions on different aspects - just like the link you posted. The first 3 paragraphs are perfectly clear. The first two show a decrease in the numbers who were unhappy with the split and detail the change since 2012. The third shows the numbers unhappy that the split took place without a referendum. Later paragraphs look at the “establishment” which I take to be the mechanics of the split - the division of assets, etc. These subsequent paragraphs also look back to 1918, the overthrow of communism and so on. This is not not the most objective source but has read the survey the same way:- https://sputniknews.com/europe/201705291054098166-czechoslovakia-czech-citizens-poll/ If you disagree or have alternative data, I would be interested to see it but I am not really fussed either way - the point was merely an aside to the debate on whether any of the “quite a few” European countries dissolving in the past quarter of a century had to put forward any form of coherent plan before a referendum took place.

Worth considering that many of those high earners will have been privately educated. Did you know that private schools are considered 'charities' and therefore basically subsidised by the taxpayer at large? Interesting. Many of these high earners will also choose to live in Scotland because it is a safe country with the rule of law, infrastructure and economy provided to allow people to become wealthy. You're welcome. Despite being provided with these things, these high earners see fit to squirrel their money away dishonestly to avoid paying their due into the pot. They are, essentially, scum. To criticise the government rather than these thieves is poor form. I wouldn't consider myself left wing, as a rule, but people who avoid paying their due in tax, and I include inheritance tax in this, are the lowest of the low. Not against higher taxes for the rich just highlighting the fact that the SNP government got their sums wrong. Seems as if Scotland does not have as many high earners as first estimated. Will have a knock on effect to current years tax intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply. I'll have a root around. I guess the link I originally found was an exception then. It kind of annoys me though that news articles are written which do not include the actual questions asked, the statistics of the responses received, and a short description of the survey methodology (or at least a link to this information). This is one of the ways in which we get fake news - because badly-written articles can be misinterpreted or actually misinterpret the original figures themselves.

Don't disagree with you on that. I was challenging the idea that a UK political party was in control of the direction of travel from Capitalism to Talentism. How Airbnb are a hotel accommodation business who don't own buildings, Uber a taxi company who don't own cars. Tesla engines having 18 parts compared to thousands of parts in petrol car engines.
