Not really, this is what most politicians do when they are not in power.
It is when they get into power they realise that:
a) there is no money
b) most people think it is someone else’s taxes that should increase to pay for the funding – witness the LibDems mad idea of a Mansion Tax (I guess many people think it’s a good idea as it won’t effect them)
I personally pay enough tax, I am one of those misguided fools who has tried to work hard all their life, and whilst by no means rich, I, nor my family qualify for any state support
I am neither too rich that it doesn’t matter, not too poor to claim help from the state
I pay for all by own dental care, eye care, prescriptions. My grown up children, get no support for University because I earn too much !!!!! .
We’re always open to ideas, Halifax. If you’ve got the low-cost solution that will be accepted by TfGM, Highways England and the Council then please let us know.
Refreshing to hear a politician say, in effect, if we want better services we must be prepared to pay for them

I don’t follow, what has TfGM/Highways got to do with the NHS?
