I've been a fan of a basic income for everyone for some time. And now there's a European Union-wide campaign agitating for one. As Switzerland will be hosting a referendum on a 2,500 franc monthly income for every adult (about £1,720/month), there's no time like the present to whip up support for it. And pioneering work in Namibia shows it's not just something rich countries could indulge.
