That's not my experience. The UK has automatic taxation but the current government lowered effective tax for most people this month and parties make tax-rate pledges during election campaigns.
How many days is it reasonable for something to be front page news? Personally I'd prefer 365 different headlines then the same one for 4 months straight.
Do it in the US and it's front page news on the day and then it's on the second and third pages January through April the following year.
