While the Balearic political situation has yet to be settled following last Sunday’s election results which put the Partido Popular in the driving seat, the response from the British media has been positive with regard to the fact that the PP have made it clear that they have no intention of increasing the tourist tax, which members of the outgoing left-wing coalition wanted to raise by as much as 60 percent.

Well that's simply sensational! Although it's hardly news. The previous government stated unequivocally that there would be no rise in tourist tax, despite calls from a junior coalition partner to raise it. This new government said the same thing, and added that it will not be abolished, despite a call to abolish it from a junior coalition partner. News flash just in: Beware on beach holidays abroad: Politicians have discovered that mixing water with dirt creates mud. No worries though, the new government will sort that too.
