that is the prob people dont have a choice where taxs goes to, so yes if it went to the nhs that is fine who wud control it.
With the tories in charge no as it wouldn’t go to nhs with labour yes as they’d give it to nhs
The entire tax system requires a radical overhaul. From top to bottom. A system that favors the middle class at the expense of everyone else, is clearly not fit for purpose. Simplify the system. Close all tax loopholes. End universal benefits that favor the (wealthy) middle class. End all tax and pension perks for the middle class. For example, why is council tax lower in wealthy boroughs of London, some of the wealthiest places on planet earth, than deprived northern mill towns. etc etc. (
)In principle I agree that geneal taxation should be raised to fund the NHS adequately, the problem is among others, a looming black hole that is PFI, which will swallow a large chunk of it and an ever increasing large chunk over the next 40 years or so. A PFI system that is 70% less efficient than direct NHS control and 40% less efficient in the public sector overall. I want my £2 to go on frontline services in the NHS, not on an inefficient management structure and PFI laptop/desktops costing £3,000 each, that can be bought for £400 on any High-street in the UK. etc.
A banking led, service sector economy, reliant on housing bubbles for growth, is incapable of paying the bills. The socialization of capitalism, where mammoth corporations become to large to fail and are bailed out by the tax payer as a direct consequence when they do fail, is always doomed to failure in the long term.

I would rather pay that to the NHS than give the BBC £12.25 a month for the TV licence.

Every – political – party – seems to have probs, lets see: –
GREEN – party – supposedly they cud not answer financial ?s.
UK INDEPENDENCE – party – supposedly they are racists or the leader is.
TORYS/CONSERVITIVES – party – supposedly are all rich so have no clue about what is right for most people what are obv common, the capitalist greedy people.
LABOUR – party – they supposedly got the country in debt and sent are army etc to fight some other country’s war/s.
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS – party- supposedly promised they will lower tuition fees, then they did not, but they did become a coalition – party, so that cud of took that plan and thrown it in the bin.
BRITISH NATIONAL – party – supposedly they are racists or the leader is.
Then u have other political – party’s, who wont even be noticed, or and they don’t get many votes, most the time when people vote for a political – party, they vote for either – LIBERAL DEMOCRATS or and TORYS/CONSERVITIVES and or LABOUR, for some reason, but they don’t seem to want to vote for some other political – party, I mean I have heard that if no one votes or and there is not enough votes, then the political – party, what are leaders in at the time, well they will stay in, so it forces people to vote, but if there is not a good political – party to vote for or and each or and certain political – party have at least one prob, then it makes the choice difficult to choose what is best to pick, it is a win lose context, yes you cud say “but everyone will have a prob with at least one choice some political – party wud make or and plan to make” yes I get that, but it obv depends what the prob is, if it is a common human prob or not, as it depends what type of prob it is, as I mean idk one political – party cud cud have a rule that says, if u ware odd shoes u will be arrested, one or small cluster of people might not like that rule made by that political party, but as if it is not a common human prob/s, it wont bother other people, I mean also what wud u do if every political – party, had bad prob/s, then u wont know what to do then.
