This is an interesting proposal. They plan to give every citizen €800 per month and to scrap benefits altogether.
Initial reaction by some might be that it will give people less reason to work but it will still only be €200 a week. What's the cost of living like there and I'm not to sure what people on benefits get already so it might not be a huge difference.
I guess you'd get rid of some costs of monitoring the welfare system. Extra money in peoples pockets is going to be a general boost to happiness too.
Thoughts?
