Greens have always been against local income tax, they support land value tax or something so they wouldn't have supported it anyway, making your point, as ever, moot.

So an almost guaranteed 'no' vote then.

I'm surprised the SNP and Tories haven't found some common ground on a way of abolishing the council tax (perhaps under the pretence on the part of the Tories that Labour have abused the Council Tax system), to be honest.

Oh well. In light of our ever so slightly bigger economic problems, I think I can live with council tax. I do wonder if they'll even manage to keep council tax frozen at the current amount, as that pretty much amounts to yearly tax cuts and the income will start shrinking and expenditure increasing as this recession kicks in proper.

Fun times to be alive!
