This should disqualify you from standing for election in my view. No representation without taxation.

Tax Havens are parasites aiding tax-dodgers, criminals, money-launderers and dictators.
They must be abolished.

So, after many frustrating days of trying, I’ve finally created an account with DeepSeek.
And that’s where it ends.
I’ve singularly failed to elicit any information, useful or otherwise. I hope it’s because there are so many millions of others doing the same. Not my technical incompetence!!
