No, I'd suggest that handing the most wealthy a huge tax break, while cutting benefits to the most needy, is not fairness.
And that's a bizarre conclusion you drew from my comment BTW.

The Lib Dems are the first to think about increasing personal allowances and raising the higher rate tax band? That surprises me.
Great news about abolishing zero hour contracts though. Better than great, that's outstandingly good news.
Increasing the personal allowance by 20% will benefit the lowest paid far more than the rich.

Deficit not reduced as promised.
Next promise, cut taxes.
Genius.

Yay! That was a big one on my bingo card. I get extra credit because it comes from you too. Cheers, HT!
Very much this. And VAT hits the most poor in society hardest. Taking from the poor to finance the more wealthy. Same old nasty party.

TBH none of the leaders fill me with great confidence.
Ed is clearly out of his depth just running a party let alone a country and is a bit of a blundering fool.
David seems to talk the talk and they were left with a massive mess to sort out which they are seemly trying to do.
Clegg. Lol

Those with the lowest incomes will not be impacted by that raise.
A pleasure. I cannot think of a better way to describe Cameron's inward and backward plans though.
Agreed I would be much better off under this proposal.... but cannot vote tory.... or can in?
Quite.

The Tory Tax Cuts Explained….
But we'll just ignore that the EU has been pressuring member states for years to standardise VAT rates and the most common being 20%. If you want VAT to go down the only way it will happen is if we leave the EU.
I'd quite like to vote for a party that says something like this:
* We'll attempt to get the deficit down, but much like a 25 year mortgage there really is no hurry as long as we can service it. The national debt is not a major issue when you consider the infrastructure we have, which is essentially our "equity" on this debt.
* We're going to keep income tax roughly what it is.
* We're going to reduce VAT gradually over a ten year period because we realise it is obscene.
* We won't pander to the loud minority who want to decimate our trading links with the EU
* We're going to pay for this by keeping our noses out of wars that we have absolutely no business getting involved in.

That's a shame. Your lack of imagination saddens me.

The budget might be protected. You can bet your bottom dollar services won't be. There's far too many vested interests in NHS privatisation in the Tory party
I never said I wanted it to go down. I don't want it raised further which history suggests the Tory's might do.
What's the point of coming up with a new term? Every understands Little Englander.
