Taxing Times

Based on an arbitrary valuation of a property that you might not own, and which in any case you could not sell without going to live up a tree or something, Council Tax ought to have been abolished years ago.

Once the Universal Basic Income were in place, then Council Tax could be replaced with a voluntary flat rate charge, payable by as many adults as chose to pay it rather than restricted to one per address.

Payment of that charge would acquire the right to vote and stand in local elections. But it all depends on the introduction of the Universal Basic Income.

Another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post.

I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
