Thanks. The fact that a party who would promote this can not promise voters the same short term benefits as a party who can keep printing money is something I have overlooked. I suppose that would also go back to the fact that parties in a democracy are usually only elected for 4 years.

With that I now wonder if there are any parties in any country who have attempted this or who have come close..
