Farida Aslam, Plaid Cymru

Plaid Cymru PPC (Cardiff South & Penarth),
Farida Aslam's endorsement and reply


Do you agree in principle with the aforementioned policy?

Answer - "Absolutely - Plaid Cymru is committed to the creation of a fairer society and commits itself completely to this".

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

Answer - "Social mobilty and the gap between the rich and the poor needs to be addressed; this is one way in which we can make inroads into making our society much fairer. Closing tax loopholes also needs to be addressed".

If you are elected as an MP, do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the next parliament?

Answer - "Reform is a must - I am standing in a constituency with the highest child poverty rate in Wales. I am fully committed to ensuring that the income tax reforms such as you propose are implemented, in order to create a fairer society in which everyone can prosper".

Samad Billoo, Respect

Respect PPC (Enfield Southgate),
Samad Billoo's endorsement and reply

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

Answer - "Yes, in principle I do agree with the policy".

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

Answer - "Yes, I do believe that the rich should pay more. One of our seven policies for a fairer society is Fairer Taxation. Too many people on average or low incomes are paying too much tax. Meanwhile the super rich employ an army of accountants to avoid paying their fair share. We cannot afford to allow the richest in our society to get away with tax dodges when services are being cut".

If you are elected as an MP, do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the next parliament?*
*not necessarily as specified with the above policy

Answer - "Yes, I certainly will campaign for income tax reform".

Alis Ballance, Scottish Grn

Scottish Green PPC (Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweddale),
Alis Ballance's endorsement and reply via Election Agent


"In principle SGP is thoroughly in accord with your proposition that Britain needs to become collectively fairer.

We agree that the rich should pay more tax, and the poor less. Alis will campaign for a fairer income tax system if elected.

As regards to question 1, whilst agreeing entirely with the spirit behind it, SGP's preferred method of making the tax system fairer is to introduce a Citizen's Income, to give every citizen of the country a right to a basic weekly income - we have no set figure for the free tax personal allowance.

I hope this is helpful",

Joe Hall, Independent

Independent PPC (Luton South),
Joe Hall's endorsement and reply

"Thank you for your email -- we definitely need a fairer tax system. It can seem like a big, abstract system but it makes an enormous difference to people's lives. I think your ideas are very much along the right lines and I would broadly support all three.

Please see my manifesto at http://www.joehallforluton.com/ for more ideas about fairer taxes and how to rebalance our society -- we need to get serious with the banks too, and we need to support the right kind of long-term investment in our society like education, activities for young people and mental health care rather than building more prisons for example. We know already what many of the solutions are for our society -- now we need the courage to make them our priority".

Paul Crofts, TUSC

Trade Unionist & Socialist PPC
(Wellingborough),
Paul Crofts' endorsement & reply


"Fully endorse your campaign for a fairer tax system. It is unfair and wrong that the rich pay reletively less tax than the poorest in our society. They are also able to evade taxation much easier than the poor or those on PAYE. I also support proposals to put a tax on financial transactions of 0.05% (the 'Tobin Tax')".
