Not signed. It costs £600m a year to run this country. If you take tax off fuel prices it will turn up somewhere else. I have a choice whether to buy fuel or not, and what car to run to pay fuel for. I do not have a choice about most other taxes. I don't won't to pay more income tax, I want my income so I have a choice where to spend it.

Of those who want to sort this country out, how many voted? Only 63% of people in this country bothered to vote at the last election. The Government was elected with only 35% of that vote. If everyone else had voted, it is not very likely this lot would be in power. If we had a proper voting system then we would have a Government that represented our proportion of votes, but only 42% of people bothered to vote in the last referendum. I'd gladly accept that we need to do something more pro-active if only people had used the system that was available to them, but no! People, as has been said, can't be a***d.

I remember when fuel was 25p a GALLON, and when I started driving it was 26p a litre.

I'm with C0sie - where else are you going to live that's any better?
