Government Budget Policies

Brits Want the Wealthiest to be Taxed More

When it comes to budget policies, 45 percent of British people surveyed by YouGov said they want the government to increase public spending and raise taxes for the wealthiest and expand public spending. Incidentally, these are policy proposed by Labour. However, the party led by Jeremy Corbyn cannot bank on this. A majority of people surveyed say the Tories were more competent in sorting out issues related to spending and taxation.
