another that I recall was council tax being a percentage of income

of course, what seems barmy to me may not be to others



Maybe barmy was a bit strong

Ohhh definitely! I'm sure there are things I back that others would think was insane. I was just curious really what things you meant

I was probably being a bit harsh but they do come across a bit "hippy" for my liking

And that's probably why I like them

Although I'd definitely agree with you on cutting investment on the roads!

They said, that they will cut road investment to invest in making the rail network more usable and thus taking more people off the roads and on to rail. Now here in the commuter belt that will be a worthwhile investment, in your neck of the woods maybe that doesn't make sense.

yes, when down south I do use rail, around here it would not be possible without investment of epic proportions

though even when down south I do question rail travel, even with a subsidised system the prices are too high

it may be a desirable situation to have a good rail netowrk but if the cost is too high to either the user or the taxpayer ( or both ) then serious thought needs to go into it

The MP for my home region is one Mr Nicholas Soames, he who never saw any warnings about Gulf War Syndrome, even though they were handed to him and pointed out to him etc. etc, but gets away with it because Winston Churchill "was my grandfather don't you know."
God awful in parliament, but a good man so far as looking out for his constituents. Home region is a rock solid Conservative area, it'd be a strange day indeed to see the vote go to anything but him.

I seem to recall a looney Lib Dem policy of enforcing a minimum of £800 PA for road fund....

Don't know maybe, but unless you take that it in context of other policies then it means nothing.
