...know your representatives? Chances are, you don’t. Sure, you might vaguely recall the visage of some door-to-door campaigner; you might’ve even voted. But, the likelihood that you’re actually well-acquainted with your council reps is slim to none.

Concerned last year that growth was not taking hold despite large tax cuts and worried over the slim possibility that the economy could slip into a deflationary spiral, he opted to cut short-term interest rates to 1%, their lowest level since 1958.
