Howe: The States matter most.

==Howe: The States matter most==
Geoffrey Howe, UKIP’s finance secretary, has given brief details about a new UKIP policy to expand the involvement of states in the affairs of the Federal Government. He suggested that UKIP proposes to establish a government committee to allow more open discourse between states and the Federal Government. 
Howe was quoted saying that the “Federal Government too often ignores the wishes of States and the first discourse takes place when a bill meets the upper house” The Shadow Finance Secretary described this as an inadequate. Instead by creating this committee the government can consult its policies with the state governments and amend issues before the policy is presented before parliament. By doing this we can reduce the disdain that parties within the Chamber of Deputies seem to hold towards state governments that routinely sink legislation because of minor disagreements. 
===VAT still on the Cards?===
In other news, inside sources have suggested that a UKIP administration may still be in favour of introducing Value added tax on some consumer goods. It has been suggested that this would be just one of UKIP’s policies to end the black hole in the deficit that both the State Governments and Federal Government currently possess.
