Who are the 28% of people left that say they will vote Tory at the next election? Must be absolutely off their tits

The worry for me is that when Labour win, are they going to have the financial clout to enact any policies that will actually change anything for the long-term better.

They're in the paradox of taxes need to go up across the board to cover for the lack of economic and productivity growth over the last 15 years and being unable to up taxes for political reasons. Don't really see how they're going to get out of that box.

Eliminating NI and folding it into income tax would be a start but that is only projected to raise £11bn, and pensioners will have a hissy fit if they do that.

Which is why it won't happen. 

Those of us who risked our assets to set up limited companies would also have a hissy fit particularly in the light of fiscal drag, the introduction of and the ratcheting up of Dividend Tax, Corporation Tax increases, CGT increases on sale / exit, Business Rates, IPT never mind the plethora of pointless regulation.
