What do we want – tax cuts – now!
The Herald Digi-Poll finds that tax cuts are cited as the most important election issue – a whopping 26%. This is historically very high. A year ago only 6% said tax cuts.
If Labour had put Goff into Finance, they would be in a much stronger position to be seen as delivering tax cuts because they actually think people deserve their own money back, rather than a desperate bribe just 12 months after they cancelled the last set of tax cuts.
On a purely personal note I hope Labour pledge as huge tax cuts as possible. Because National will of course at least meet that, and so their tax cuts will be even larger than might otherwise have been the case.
