Shadow Chancellor George Osborne will pledge that a Tory government would increase the proportion of "green" taxes.
He argues that the overall proportion of revenue derived from taxing activities that generate pollution has fallen under Labour from 7.7% in 1997 to 6.2% this year.

They're simply waving another half baked proposal to attract the attention of another group in society. By the time of the next election they should have covered every social grouping with various promises. Political logic would dictate that you can't please all of the people all of the time so how gullible do they think we are.

Pollution should not be confused with things like global warming. There isn't a consensus regarding global warming, even amongst so called experts. I don't trust anything that they say about global warming because it is an issue that has been high-jacked by the anti-capitalist/democracy brigade (lefty PC types). There are far more pressing issues than so called global warming to deal with. Some of the more intractable ones actually caused by this government. (Immigration is one). So you will understand that neither I, nor the country, can afford to entertain people who are dumb enough to want to vote them back in again.

I'm afraid that raising taxes seems to be the Tories' answer to everything.
But I'm so sick of this JOKE of a government at the moment that I really don't care who gets in next time. Monster Raving Looney Party would be better than Bliar and his cronies.

Why target the tories, every party is considering green taxes. Do you think for one moment paying more taxes will solve anything. More money out of your pocket but no difference to you.

because it truly is what politicians do. It doe's not be counted who you vote for. pay interest to politicians being puzzled, not one in all them elements a instantly answer. that's do as we are saying not as we do. they received't bypass after their associates in intense places or tax havens because that's those those who pull their strings and bankroll them. each body is general with how corrupt and manipulative MP's are. They enter parliament for his or her own ends not ours. all of them blame absolutely everyone yet themselves. pay interest to the tories blaming labour for our problems. human beings must have short memories, keep in concepts each and each of the sleaze on the proper of their very last time in skill. What got here about to each and each of the proceeds from each and each of the standard public businesses they bought off, all sources not owned by using the taxpayer, yet by using foreigners now. All making billions in salary each 365 days. North sea oil gross sales spent by using tories, changed into virtually dried up even as labour got here to place of work. So dropping public funds, i imagine the tories have wasted more beneficial.

Brown is the tax king, he has ruined many companies, and will do so more if he is elected. He is a liability. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

Perhaps the revenue has fallen to keep more money in businesseses pockets and keep them hiring.
