Run Country Properly And You Don’t Need To Raise Taxes
Prospective Independent MP for Wirral West David Kirwan today called on the electorate to vote in a core of Independent candidates at the next General Election – to help avoid tax increases.
David said: “Hardly a day passes without accusations by the Conservative Party against the Labour Party and vice versa that the other will if elected to power after the next General Election both cut public spending and also raise taxation.
“These conversions on the ‘Road to Damascus’ by both David Cameron and Gordon Brown are invariably described as ‘admissions’ in terms that speak almost of ‘tooth extraction and implying that the maker really will have no alternative.
“The undeniable truth of the matter is that with good governance in terms of cost cutting and avoidance, for example, of the £1.7million overpaid in salaries to civil servants and now regarded as irreclaimable; the road to recovery can be achieved without raising one of the highest tax burdens in Europe.
“Neither of the main parties can claim the moral high ground on an issue which has been triggered but not occasioned by the current recession and resulting in an unprecedented increase in the National debt.
“If elected to power next June, the traditional parties will blame these cuts and increases on either the other party or external world forces beyond their control. Neither will admit responsibility.
“The last 30 years of government by both the main political parties has seen a constant lurch from ‘boom to bust’ with successive Chancellors claiming divine knowledge of the true way forward for our economy.
“Neither Cameron or Brown or for that matter the Liberal Democrats can be trusted to put the Country back on a sustainable road to recovery.”
David added: “The political mould was well and truly broken with the advent of the MPs’ Expenses Scandal which damaged the current political machine beyond repair.
“The only answer next June is for the election of a substantial cadre of Independent MPs driven by vocation to hold the balance of power and provide a non-party political audit of future Government policy.”
