I always vote left, but if I am perfectly honest it is nice to keep the £ myself. Especially with that awful pension system, the non existing benefits... if the tax rate would increase but health/benefits/pension would improve and bottom incomes would be raised, totally go for it!
I think higher taxes should happen, but a big problem is that people don't trust the government not to waste it. Not sure I do.
The alternative though is clearly that people just keep the money completely for themselves, so perhaps paying tax to a "wasteful" government is still better.
And of course people could give it all away, but in reality that means me donating more and others just buying a bigger house :)

I'd rather pay more tax. Great public services cost money to deliver.
