      I’m not sure that counts as politically palatable! Everyone wants more services, less taxes, and to pay down national debt. Think you can do that?

        @Dave I don’t believe the narrative that everyone wants lower taxes is true. Nobody consulted me about the tax deductions, and I’m squarely in the bracket that benefits most from them.

          You know, I think you’re right. I don’t even think it’s a main concern for most people. But I think offering tax cuts may pull some Labour voters to National in the hope of more pay in their limited pay packet, when that’s really a poor solution to the problem of people struggling with the cost of living.
