Green PPC (Tynemouth),
Julia Erskine's reply
"As a representative of the Green Party, I endorse what I know about your campaign so far. I would hope to help our party and your campaign to make great improvements in the tax system to make it fairer and help to reduce the hardship that the current inequalities cause. The Green Party manifesto is based on the need to reduce inequality in all areas of our society, and restructuring the economic system of this country".
Do you agree in principle with the aforementioned policy?
Answer - "Personally, in principle yes, although in our manifesto we talk about helping low earners by re-introducing the 10% tax band and the 22p basic rate".
In a generic sense, do you believe that the rich should pay more tax and the poor should pay less tax?
Answer - "Definitely, introducing the higher rate of income tax at 50% for incomes above £100,000 is in our manifesto. Also abolishing the upper limit for National Insurance contributions".
Do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the next parliament?
Answer - "Yes, we have several tax intentions for reform in our manifesto. See http://greenparty.org.uk and go to our policies pages for further information".

Green Party Candidate for Tynemouth Constituency
