| Description | The "big first test" for Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party |
The 2016 London mayoral election will be held on 5 May 2016 to elect the successor to Boris Johnson as Mayor of London. Twelve candidates are expected to contest the election:
- Siân Berry, Green Party
- David Furness, British National Party
- George Galloway, Respect Party
- Paul Golding, Britain First
- Zac Goldsmith, Conservative Party, MP for Richmond Park
- Sadiq Khan, Labour Party, MP for Tooting
- Winston McKenzie, English Democrats
- Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrats
- Rosalind Redhead, Independent
- Sandi Toksvig, Women's Equality Party
- Peter Whittle, UK Independence Party
- John (Janek) Zylinski, Independent
While many Blairites have joined the commercially-controlled media in talking up the London mayoral, Scottish, Welsh and English local elections in May as the "big first test" for Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party,[1] an early January 2016 poll gave Sadiq Khan a 10-point lead over Zac Goldsmith,[2] with bookmakers and pundits all favouring a Khan victory.[3]

| Document:Why Isn’t Everyone In Favour of Taxing Financial Speculation? | report | 19 April 2016 | Robert Reich | Bernie Sanders wants to tax stock trades at a rate of 0.5 percent (a trade of $1,000 would cost $5), and bond trades at 0.1 percent. The tax would reduce incentives for high-speed trading, insider deal-making, and short-term financial betting. Sanders’ 0.5 percent tax could thereby finance public investments that enlarge the economic pie rather than merely rearrange its slices – like tuition-free public education. |
