Poll: General election voting intentions poll

[robgmun]

So while Labour are targeting non-doms, the Tories are setting plans to help very rich families ensure their children can be even richer without working for it themselves. I guess the battle lines are being drawn.

You don't read things properly don't you? Anyone over £2m will not benefit

 

[McBain]

Another tick in the Conservative box, down with inheritance tax!

Show where the Tories proprieties are, help the rich and crush the poor.

The out of touch liers won't get in this time.

You don't have to rich to have a property worth £1 million in London these days.

My house is halfway there and it's a just a 3 bed semi detached in a nice area.

I don't think they announced what you think they announced.

Come of it, they are going to hit the most vulnerable real hard if they get in, probably to help pay for their BS eight billion for the NHS, we can expect an VAT hike as well.

Never trust a tory if its lips are moving.


Inheritance tax is for those that are better off, most working people don't give a **** about it.

Sorry, have you actually read the policy? Because you're coming across as someone who hasn't even read the headline!!

I'm in favor of abolishing the IT altogether but your comments are ridiculous

 

[Arsonist]

While i'm terribly apathetic towards politics and politicians, I'm glad to see the tories pulling into the lead, simply because their cuts and reforms have worked so far to pull us out the recession etc, and I think a change of tack would be rather dangerous right now. Perhaps next election other parties should see what they can achieve, but at the moment, I think the conservatives should stick with it.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Tory supporter no doubt.

Fact is the policy will benefit a select few down south with cushy homes.

Where are the policies to help the vulnerable and people struggling to live? there will be no help just more pain if the nasty party get back in.

Vote Tory to reform the NHS or vote Labour if you want NHS Trusts to turn back into death camps such as Mid-Staffs.

 

[thep02]

And how do you expect to "fairly" deliver your goals?

And don't say "tax the richer more" because its a disgusting argument.

But the obvious answer in a society trying to avoid wealth inequality, poverty and unfairness, obviously looking at civilised European countries like Germany it doesn't kill industry or entrepreneurial endeavour.

 

[thep02]

All the money that was around before 2008 is still here and trillions of new monies are too but it's all caught in weslth traps at the top never to trickle anywhere else because like Tony Soprano said money aint like water it flows uphill. It is captured static wealth that is causing the economic failure.

 

[Vanilla]

Inheritance tax hike! Vote bought!

Germany do not appear to tax rich folk much more than they get taxed in the UK. Am I missing something in translation? As their top rate seems to be 45% on couple earning over 500K euro per year. Up to that you are charged at 42% on a sliding scale.

lol what have the tories done for the NHS the five years they have had it, oh yeah that's right brought it to its knees.

Expect more privatization so the rich get richer and the poor get sicker and die with a crippled NHS.

You can't trust the tories with the NHS, the last fives years is proof enough.

Maybe they have less income inequality before taxation. I know they have much more union representation, including at board level in Germany, be interesting to know if they have zero hours contracts over there, somehow I doubt it. I think the make up of the German economy also helps avoid extreme income inequality - they're famous for having an economy based on lots of medium sized companies, rather than few mega-corps we have here in the UK.

Doesn't explain the point he was trying to make. I still don't understand what he was trying to state. I would like him to come back and explain.

You sometimes have to tear something down in order to rebuild it.

Universal Credit has got more "cripples" back to full health than Jesus did.

His point (I think) was about reducing income inequality - you can either do that after tax, by making sure high income people pay more tax so that people on low incomes keep a greater proportion of their income, or you can do it before tax and make sure there aren't as many people on high incomes so that companies have more money to redistribute to lower earners.

Just so it doesn't come as a big surprise I wanted to let everyone know there will be a new thread started this afternoon for the next round of polling and this one will be locked.
