That tells me a lot right there. At a time when Britain has to cut taxes AND spending to right the ship, they're going to have to compromise on the later with their socialist coalition and continue to spend themselves towards bankrupcy.

Actually, they both want to cut taxes, the difference is that the Tories want marriage incentives and inheritance tax breaks whereas the LibDems want fewer people to actually pay taxes by raising the taxation threshold.

I would be amazed if the inheritance tax breaks happen. They weren't terribly popular to begin with anyway, and certainly not much of a vote getter at a time when people are worrying more about the money they have, not the money they leave behind. And the marriage incentives will probably be pretty meaningless, if they happen at all, so I suspect in this particular case, the LibDems will get most of what they want.

So the Tories want to reward good behavior and productivity and wealth, while the LibDems want to create a larger dependent class?

Sounds familiar...
