In the IPPR poll of LabourList readers, 51% of respondents said they would prefer increasing taxes on the well off as a means of bringing down the level of national debt.
Asked “what should the next government be focussing on to bring down the level of national debt”, respondents answered as follows:
Increasing taxes on the well off: 51%
A combination of increased taxes and public service cuts: 20%
Increasing general taxes: 10%
Public sector efficiency savings: 10%
Public service cuts only: 8%
Other: 1%
IPPR asked for the views of 50 LabourList readers, who volunteered to take part in the poll last week. More results will appear here over the coming days.
