SURELY following their election victory with a parliamentary majority, the danger for David Cameron and the Conservative Party is not from the Labouror the Scottish Nationalists, but from arrogance from within their own ranks.
As a start a humble approach from the Tories may be to reform council tax with a revaluation of council tax bands. In doing this they would prevent hundreds of thousands of people receiving arrears letters, court summons and making appointments with their local Citizens Advice Bureau because they simply cannot afford to pay the sums being asked of them. Charging the wealthy more would allow for cheaper rates at the lower end.
There has to be a way of bringing council tax into the post-property boom age, making the wealthy pay their fair share and stopping so many dreaded bailiffs from knocking at the door.
