Mr Ramsdale 'I think one of the worst aspects of this proposal is that it removes an incentive for a council to achieve any economies. Wandsworth will feel that any savings they achieve will be passed onto another council and the other councils will know that their shortfalls will be picked up by councils that are either better run or enjoy better demographics.' I am afraid this can all be put down to a core aim of Labour for 'equality' in every area of society. But not equality of opportunity but equality of outcome. Hence by redistribution of funds or income via taxation they will hinder those that seek to improve either their organisation in this case or their personal circumstances and favour those that do not. VAT on fee charging education a good example. Thus we see for example the large number of benefit claimants being supported by the taxes of those that get up off the backsides and do a job.
