That's nearly dead in the water, it isn't to be a bill any more, it is only a proposal.
Some Conservative MPs would have rebelled against it being ditched so they have had to think again,as they will on many policies.

I wait to see the real detail as each policy comes to parliament,I am beginning to hope that David Cameron has had a reality check and realised this is going to be much harder for him with a small overall majority than the last 5 years of coalition was.

He may actually end up getting very little of note through at all.

The EU is going to consume much of the next 2 years at least,he will have to hope he can do enough to win a 'yes' to staying in otherwise another rebellion could come there and a vote to leave the EU will likely tear the Conservative party apart.

As to VAT,I was disappointed not to see a firm guarantee not to extend it to things it is not on already.
The Conservative party always usually makes some changes to VAT,it would surprise me to see absolutely no extension of it during this next 5 years.

I will wait and see and hold fire on criticisms until I see more fine detail of the planned legislation.
This is also the time when Conservative MPs who are really decent and have a conscience find their voices too.
he cannot afford to have any sitting on their hands rather than voting for the govt. now.
