Anatole Kaletsky says the Dave’s not the Tory party “The Conservative Party has not just moved to the left, abandoning Margaret Thatcher and leapfrogging Tony Blair and Gordon Brown on to what David Cameron described as the liberal, progressive mainstream of British politics. No, the Cameron project appears to be far more audacious. He is trying to turn the “new Tories” into an unashamedly statist, high-tax, anti-enterprise party, with ideals that owe less to Blair or Brown than to Nye Bevan and Michael Foot.

The Tory policy has always veered toward less interfering small government, hence it has argued that government would need to spend less. If we take Dave at his word and why should we not then as Anatole Kaletsky says we should start to ask “When are you going to announce the details of the enormous tax increases you are so clearly itching to impose?”

So we now have three political parties proposing to take more of our money to spend for us on what they decide, what a choice come the next election.

Given that the same three parties also consider Britain’s place is in the shush don’t want to talk about it. socialist EU. We are going to find our options at the election booth are somewhat limited.

Well I for one now know who to vote for, even if they do not stand a chance of being elected, at least this party is prepared to talk about the EU, in fact many would have us think that is all they do talk about.

But it is no longer possible for the United Kingdom Independence Party UKIP to be so dismised because not only are the prepared to offer a way forward for this country which does not include becoming a sub state in the United State of Europe they are also offering radical new thinking on tax.

A flat tax system for Britain

• Make all taxpayers better off (mostly by £1,100 per year) and take a

further 4.5 million lower paid out of income tax altogether

- by raising the tax-free personal allowance to £9,000

- and merging existing income tax bands and employee’s National

Insurance contributions into a single flat income tax at a rate of 33%.

• Reduce the rate for capital gains tax to 33% and scrap inheritance

tax altogether.

• Finance the revenue shortfall by halting the growth in government

spending.

Now I do not even begin to understand the British Tax regime, I only know I always end up paying more than I think I should and a lot more that I want to, considering an increasing amount of the money goes in supporting an anti-democratic super socialist government in Brussels, who decide to spend a great deal on either supporting French farmers, Terrorist states and EU propaganda.

But I can recommend a blog which has looked at the UKIP proposals The Devils Kitchen

So there we have it there is a political party that is prepared to think outside of the EU box.
