Curious about politics. Hoping for more than slogans.
I'm thinking of measures such as:

- equalising capital gains and income tax
- replacing council tax & business rates with land tax
- folding National Insurance into income tax
- taxing inheritance as income
- taxing equally all income generated from UK assets & activities
- taxing pollution harder
