Fiscal Studies

The Institute for Fiscal Studies was founded to oppose the introduction of corporation tax and capital gains tax. That the BBC regards it as independent and respected says everything that needs to be said about the BBC.

And that the Liberal Democrats are the only party that it would now support says all that needs to be said about the Lib Dems. Far from their having restrained austerity, the Conservative-only Governments since 2015 have been economically well to the Coalition's left. As a party, the Lib Dems alone remain committed to austerity. Hence their endorsement by the IFS.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. I am standing for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
