But I can't imagine voting Tory given a chance because I don't like their core values and I don't trust them.
They are about conserving wealth power and priviledge in the hands of those who already have them.
See the above comment about inheritance tax - the country needs money because the wealthy powerful banking industry screwed everyone over - what's the best thing to do - abolish tax on those who are about to inherit hundreds of thousands of pounds of unearned income.

But jake ...
IHT is charged on money that has already been taxed.
People who have worked hard, saved hard, and paid their taxes, get stuffed by IHT.
The really wealthy do not pay it ... unless they are stupid. Their money is tied up neatly in trusts, transferred by way of PTE's etc.
Millionaire bankers' estates will not pay IHT.
Pensioners who have lived in the same house for 60 years, and it has gone up in value ... their families will pay.

And what about Philip Green non dom but his wealth comes from his stores over here And of course Lord Ashcroft we could build hospitals with the tax they avoid we need a level playing field but with that shower down there nothing will change unless we force them out of office that will make them change !!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR
JJ ///An OAP who had owned it since the war, had no savings, and lived on a basic pension ... would pay over £80,000 in IHT. ///
No she wouldn't. She would not pay a penny. The reason? She's dead. The only people paying are the relatives. So what you are really saying is that if a person gets 'free' money (ie they haven't earned it) that money shouldn't be taxed

Oh JJ, and if your fictitious OAP had any sense, she would have taken out a home equity release loan to enjoy her retirement, top up her pension and enjoyed life.
That is one of the problems at the moment - all these OAPs clinging on to their assets so that their greedy children can inherit it, instead of enjoying themselves.
