    ???????????????????

    To be fair mate this topic is a little more thought provoking than a veggimite or marmite poll or even the building of a time machine, so I can understand your ignorance. You taking anything for it?

    The majority of the populace seem to feel the current system is better than the old community charge aka Poll Tax. I am in the minority;)

    Thanks for that.

    Apart from the era of Community Charge (1990 - 93) a major part of financing local government spending has been by some form of property based tax for several centuries. A lot of other countries also have a property tax.

    Time for a change?
