From: ChelseaTractorMan on 12 May 2010 06:43 I wonder what it will be? The tories are the most pro car, the libs the least (the new guard being mostly metrosexual trendies? Although there are plenty of remote rural seats where most people know the value of a car). The tories were talking about abolishing camera partnerships, wonder if that will happen? -- Mike. .. .

They need to raise money to pay off the debt somehow. Drivers are the source least likely to cause rioting on the streets so don't expect things to change much. B2003

Ah, but that was when they were in opposition. You don't really expect them (or any other party) to honour their promises, do you?

The liberal idea always *used* to be high taxes are good, but Clegg reversed that. I'm guessing road pricing is off the agenda? If they are lucky, economic recovery will make it easy for them and they will look as if they achieved it. -- Mike. .. . Gone beyond the ultimate driving machine.

The liberal > idea always *used* to be high taxes are good, but Clegg reversed that. As someone put it on R4 this morning, a generation of socially liberal Tories have met a generation of economically liberal Liberals, and they quite like each other. They're mostly young, male, privately educated and very similar. MBQ |
