I know it's insane ,but what about the people who have bought houses and built a lifestyle about their chosen profession based on current income levels ? Are they supposed to accept it and try to sell up or abandon what they have worked for because the government decides they aren't worth as much tomorrow as they where yesterday ?.
Should this proposal actually happen it will be a life changing decision for many people .Of course all this depends on how much they decide to drop the northern wage but going by your earlier statement i would expect it to be quite a lot
