I agree with all that - and I like the LibDem commitment to raising the tax threshhold to £10,000 for just that reason. Income tax also seems a very efficient way of collecting tax, since so many people are in PAYE, and unlike VAT it's not regressive. Seems a no-brainer. (It's not as if not raising taxes is an option, so let's raise it from those who can best afford it.)

I made a strategic decision not to vote tactically some time ago, but I live in a Lab/LibDem marginal, so I have the luxury of being able to do that without any real fear of letting the Tory sneak in. At least, if they sneak in here they'll have won such a large majority that my vote will be the least of my worries!
