Peter, I can pretty much assure you that no doubt the Dutch Government would do it as a matter of course, having not long been re-elected. If they had a referendum, they would not do it, just like in Edinburgh when it was put to a referendum. In spite of every single body, every single organisation going for it, they voted substantially against. It is the same with many other situations and that will happen more as a result of you bringing in this type of swingeing taxation. That will happen more in places like New York and in California...
