Green PPC (Stourbridge),
Will Duckworth's reply


Do you agree in principle with the aforementioned policy?*
*no commitment to act upon the policy

Answer - "Yes, but I don't believe it goes far enough and does not mention (unless I missed it) the unfairness of earnings over £44,000 being at a much lower National Insurance rate. I am also worried that the jump in allowance will mean that somone earning £18,000 will take home much less than someone earning £17,999".

In a generic sense, do you believe that the rich should pay more tax and the poor should pay less tax?

Answer - "Certainly. I am a socialist and the Green Party is a socialist party".

Do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the next parliament?*
*not necessarily as specified with the above policy

Answer - "I certainly will continue to campaign for fairer income tax."
