As germane as the issue of taxation is to a general discussion on the UK election, it's hardly the most pressing issue, is it?
Even if Labour managed ta grab all of the £7.5bn they're promising from fleecing the rich and preventing avoidance/evasion (and if they''re goin ta target avoidance - which currently isn't illegal, why not just make it all illegal and call it evasion then we'd all know where we stood wouldn't we) what exactly the difference would that make to anything else. That's £7.5bn on a GDP of around £1,700bn, It's not about the money is it, it's about revenge on those who are doin better than average.
My focus would be on attracting businesses and entrepreneurs to the UK.
