I agree with not playing their game, they encouraged the purchase of small Diesels, now all of a sudden Diesel's evil...does that mean the massive and hugely expensive global warming scare/scam was wrong too in the same timeframe?
Even when they shift the goal posts they're not in concrete, when they bought in the high VED rate for the then crusade of all evil CO2, they backdated the high rate to year 2001, but following noisy protests (and the cynic in me suspects their mates and backers were largely caught up in this) quickly backtracked and set the date as March 2006.
It never usually pays to have a knee jerk reaction, and invariably the car you currently own is the most econimical prospect.
I don't think any one party would be any worse than another, we have a still fast increasing national debt that we have no prospect of paying off, any money they see mr and mrs average have going spare they'll all grab in order to subsidise their hellish vision of utopia, and the motorist clearly has some money to spare look at all the new cars on back order.
Worryingly the current low world oil price is the perfect opportunity for rapid increases in tax.
As for us, we're carrying on with older LPG converted cars and see no reason to change, LPG is cleaner burning too.
