They also have benefits right across society by reducing the environmental and social costs of inequality. You would have thought that the local Lib Dems would have agreed with that, but obviously by your remarks you prefer to hoodwink voters with disingenuous arguments.Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-1164735127391793842006-11-28T17:32:00.000+00:002006-11-28T17:32:00.000+00:00So New Labour are proposing 'a hike in council tax...So New Labour are proposing 'a hike in council tax'.<BR/><BR/>UsefulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-1164667944288119732006-11-27T22:52:00.000+00:002006-11-27T22:52:00.000+00:00Personally I am proposing a hike in Council tax wh...Personally I am proposing a hike in Council tax which I think is pretty clear from the post.<BR/><BR/>Households I believe would support paying an extra £2-£5 a month to have free public transport for their kids.Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-1164541207025795302006-11-26T11:40:00.000+00:002006-11-26T11:40:00.000+00:00No one disagrees with this kind of opportunist pol...No one disagrees with this kind of opportunist policy. The question is how are you going to pay for it? Is New Labour proposing a hike in the Council tax? Perhaps job cust? Perhaps even cust to frontline services? Which is it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
