I think there's little point arguing, lower taxes attract people who are in a position to take advantage of them. That's missing the point though. First off, the GuessNP wants a currency union with the UK, which would require a high degree of tax harmonisation. Their two policies may well be in conflict. Second of all, tax cuts in one area have to be balanced by tax rises elsewhere. Given the number of free sweeties the GuessNP has been promising to dish out in the event of a vote for Dalriada, there is a massive tax bombshell hiding somewhere in the detail.
