What have LONDON’S CONGRESSMEN been up to (to the best of my knowledge) so far this week in the House of Commons?

Dill the Dog (Chancellor of the eUK Treasury) – Dill’s ground breaking fiscal reforms continue apace with a bill adopted in the HoC allowing for the following sweeping changes to the tax regime, refocusing the UK’s tax system onto an income tax based structure, rather than VAT:
Food
(Income, Import, VAT)
15% - 99% -1% Proposed
Gifts
15% - 99% -1% Proposed
Weapons
15% - 99% -1% Proposed
Moving Tickets
15% - 75% -1% Proposed
Grain
15% - 99% Proposed
Diamonds
50% - 1% Proposed
Iron
50% - 1% Proposed
Oil
50% - 1% Proposed
Wood
50% - 1% Proposed
Houses
15.00% - 99.00% - 1.00% Proposed
Hospital

UK’s Finest (London Regional Council Chairman & Wellness Gifting Councillor) – Looks like he has been sorting out the mess left in the Regional Council following the resignation of Wallyboy and a few others, including attempting to shake up the Council budget to help fund the Regional Wellness Scheme:

Aelar Vardamir Anari Eneibari (The chap with the long name) – Mr Eneibari seems to have dedicated his first few days in the HoC as a London congressman to some serious political back-scratching, although in this case it seems his ultimate goal is to have Woldy’s job as PM! http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=22526] http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=22526 - A busy thread which is well worth a read (176 posts and counting since Tuesday).

Dr. Eggman (now serving his 1st term in the HoC and the Communist's surprise package) – No discernible forum activity this week, unless he’s using a pseudonym I’m unaware of.

Nevertheless his manifesto proclaimed the following loft claim that he:
“will help to make the eUK a much better place and, best of all, involved in loads of wars so that we can all get the XP we need so much. Also, by fighting in wars we can build up our industry, with weapons, iron, gifts, hospitals and houses being produced to fund the struggle. And, of course, the eUK's people can get better ranks and thus help to destroy our enemies. WAR! WAR! WAR! Away from the war front, I will also be ready to fullfill (sic) my duty to the people of our glorious nation and its holy people. And although our taxation system is just about perfect anyway, all we need to do is get involved in loads of wars. Remember, Eggrades. Lack of war is why people leave the eUK! Vote for me, and vote for change”

So I suppose we’d best all start building Air Raid shelters (and lamenting the poor standard of eEnglish & spelling amongst some of our congressmen)!
