| Message | We very much look forward to seeing how you intend to fund these proposals. Consecutive CPoH Governments have cut spending by two thirds in order to enable us to make sweeping tax cuts. You inhabit a city of delusion if you imagine you can run public services with minor adjustments to the funding regime. Be honest with the electorate, and make your tax rises if you want to send our nation back to the dark ages. |
