"I'm with the LibDems (rare for me) in supporting a local income tax. Bureaucratic nightmare, of course, but fairer is fairer. Even better, what David says, a graduated land tax. You can't hide your land in offshore accounts. And it's fair because you didn't make the land.

Rare for you? You voted for them you lying prat. That quoted passage of yours equates to:

David Carter (UK): "Sir we have two options A and B which one should we adopt A means we have more people paying in less and the second is based on making people pay more based upon an asset that they cannot realise. A graduated property tax."

Shaw: "Well I like the idea of A as it is fair, but a bit inconvenient to administer. But I like B better as it sits better with my ideology. I know property is only worth anything when it is actually sold. But according to what our comrades tell us only rich bastards have property so let's make them pay for the lot".

The rich bastards sell up and move elsewhere, nobody buys the property because of the taxes Shaw has to raise, so you end up collecting F**k All. Well done Shaw. No bloody wonder Labour is in such a God awful mess.
