I actually believe taxes should rise for the benefit of all our public services, mostly to fund the NHS but what the Tories will do is raise taxes, not for the most wealthy of course, and still carry on with their austerity cuts on public services! A "spin Doctor" will come up with some excuse when the opposition question their motives or May will just say things were much worse under Labour or her favourite; "We are investing record amounts of £££££" but not explain where it will go!
However; declaring you are going to raise taxes in an election campaign is a very brave and dangerous move. I really hope it comes back to haunt them!
