To be honest over the past 20 years or so the incumbent government has made little difference to me personally until a few years ago.
I don't object to paying taxes, however I fear that historically, Labour knows how to tax but has little idea of how to spend prudently. Their time in power almost always coincides with an explosion of totally none productive paper shifters and bureaucracy. |
