Thats what we are arguing about.

I know, and I'm trying to make a point here. So, answer me. If somebody doesn't want to live anymore, and they're terminally ill and mentally sane, and of a proper age to be able to give informed consent, then why should we force them to live?

If you've no good answer to that you've no good argument against euthanasia.

You people are too individualist to get my point.

Saying we won't understand your point doesn't convince any of us.

Even looking at it from a collective viewpoint, somebody who's terminally ill is just a drain of medical resources that could go to non-terminal people

Even thinking collectively, voluntary euthanasia makes sense.

Social Welfare Act: I will co-sponsor this bill.
Benefits for the Unemployed Act: I will co-sponsor this bill if it is changed from only covering citizens to something like "citizens, those with residence for tax purposes, any person granted indefinite leave to remain or any equivalent of these", of course remaining that it only applies to those who are within national borders.

Add in a few specific exceptions to the work requirement.

1) If you're severely disabled and medically unable to work.
2) If you're of retirement age.
3) If you're in vocational training or education.

Basically, as long as you're not a NEET, you should be getting the benefit.

2b. Fine. This is a stupid thing to argue over anyway.
2b&c. If someone claimed more than £15,000, then that should be prosecuted as a felony, which has a maximum penalty of £1,000,000. If someone cheated the system of an amount that's more than £1,000,000, then simply increase the prison sentence.
3d. Then it makes more sense to stay in prison. Think about it, free food, a free bed, etc. It would cause people to re-offend to get back in or commit suicide if they are unable to obtain work. Once you've paid your debt to society, that's it.

So I understand that this universal credit can be taken by those in employment? That is if even with a job they fall under the local cost of living?

Yes, basically if their total income (regardless of source) is below local living living income, they get universal credit payment.

Yes from what I have read they will get a proportion of the credit depending on how much they earn, designed to make sure that work pays more than benefits.

For official purposes, is "Commonwealth of Aurentina" or "Aurentine Commonwealth" correct, or are both equally acceptable?
