Budget Little More Than A Sticking Plaster For Election - Kennedy
Responding to the budget, Liberal Democrat Leader, Charles Kennedy MP, said "We are lucky in this country. Britain has the 4th largest economy in the world. So how can it be right in Britain today that the poorest 20% pay more in tax, as a proportion of their income, than the richest 20%? Over the last eight years the Chancellor has tinkered an awful lot, but he has failed tackle fundamental unfairness in the system. This budget is just more of the same. "
