Reasons to Vote Labour

REASON 16
THE BEDROOM TAX
The conservative government dealt up an idea where people renting homes
with a spare room would be "encouraged" to move to smaller
accommodation thus freeing up the large homes for those with a need for
the additional space.
Surely it wouldn't take a genius to realise that this wasn't going to work.
There are all sorts of reasons why people live in the homes that they do and
the word itself "home carries with it really important connotations of
stability, comfort, security and even significant emotional attachment. Add
in the fact that suitable home for people to move into were not available
(perhaps due largely to the tory's previous exercise in selling off council
homes).
People would be penalised if they stayed in the house with extra bedrooms
even if they was no realistic prospect of moving.
It was and is an evil and badly conceived measure and has not achieved the
result the tories were aiming for.
The opposition that is roundly condemned for not opposing the government
did indeed oppose very strongly but listening to reason was never too high
on the tory government's agenda and the measure was put through.
Labour will end this monstrous tax.
VOTE LABOUR BECAUSE WE MUST END THIS INIQUITOUS
TAX THAT HURTS THOSE LEAST ABLE TO AFFORD IT AND
HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE TO THE AVAILABILITY OF
HOMES
