To be fair to all politicians,they cannot rule out rises to everything,however experience has it that the Conservatives have regularly increased and extended vat whereas Labour have not.
In fact I believe Margaret Thatchers govt; was the first to increase vat from its introduction, near doubling it from 8% to 15%.

they should lower vat asap to stimulate the economy and put more money in the pockets of the "working"working classes...and increase the top rate of tax on the rich as only liberals suggested and draw up tighter laws and enforcement officers to collect the billions of unclaimed corporate taxes. the ONLY people they've raised taxes on are the disabled?
