It is plainly obvious this is the death throes of the Tory party. Trying to hand as much money as they can to their donors while the country burns around them.

I would guess the types of roles that are eligible for the bonuses that we're talking about would be in the 40 / 45% tax bracket.

It was saying on the radio it would be absolutely massive. Let's face it, other than the financial sector, we do bugger all else.

Still won’t be voting for these muppets.
I bet you don't realise that you can simultaneously cut tax while increasing tax revenue
Nonsense. Whether they get remunerated through salary or bonus makes zero difference to the tax take, and even if a few hundred big cheeses in the city get a slightly bigger package its an absolutely miniscule sum to the treasury.
It's nothing more than scratching the back of their chums while they still can.
Meanwhile in Sweden...

Not next time they won't. Some older people might still vote for them. I will be voting for giant phallus scrawled on my ballot.

Pro nuclear, pro NATO. Pro tax cuts... controlled immigration. Tougher punishment for crime. The only sensible choice.
I voted red for local government because they spend wiser.
8 years of left coalition and it's gotten worse, time to flip to the otherside, much like the UK will too.

I read the title, and thought, 'Oh, that's a good thing 
', then I read a few comments and then realised I'd missed the world 'Cap'.
Country broken. Normal people ******.

Finland have had a pretty right leaning party come up from damn near nowhere to gain a substantial footing. It's expected they'll make further substantial inroads in the coming months as the Finns realise rampant immigration has caused them far more grief than benefits.
Italy also look like moving right although previous incarnations, Mussolini and Berlusconi, neither covered themselves in glory. Perhaps it is the implementation that needs improving. Less orgy more policy.
Not really, my area is solid red (even at the last GE) so doesn’t matter what I do.
