I have a lot of elderly people in my ward and during the recent by-election inheritance tax was raised by them as an important issue. But bearing in mind that Labour traditionally spend and borrow, and are plunging our country and its citizens into terrible debt, Conservatives are right not to promise specific tax cuts. We do not know what mess we will inherit! What I would like to see is a promise that we will cut taxes once we have sorted out Labour's mess - although perhaps it is time for the tax system to be overhauled?
