It is just really poor thinking from Lib Dems. They come up with some idea which appeals to their ethics. They test it against one group of people and it (in their eyes) improves them. The don't adequately research to how everyone will fare under the scheme which makes them negligent. Either that or they don't give a monkey's about the poorer voters.

Apparently we would be better off to the tune of about £470 a year
I suspect this is because our household income is derived entirely from my wages (Mrs T is a full-time mum) so the 'hit' is not as big, with there being no second income to take tax from.

I am becoming more and more convinced by the Lib Dems, largely because of their approach to ID cards. I can't help admitting a £500 bribe would go down nicely though.
EDIT
Scratch that ... I am better off by a mere £127. The headline council tax figures quoted by Scottish councils still include water rates, being as we're not privatised up here.
