Lower taxes will look more attractive

One of my complaints about the EU, and indeed the UK government, is that they impose higher costs on their people with insouciance.

Only today we have learned that the cost of the MoT will be going up because the slow computers mean the tests take longer.

No serious party is proposing smaller, cheaper government. UKIP voices this view from time to time, but does not campaign on the theme.

But spenders beware. "Experts" are predicting that the cost of food and drink is going to rise. If they are right, expect more protests as taxpayers' pips squeak.
