Two fatal flaws in the Tory quality of lfe proposals....and counting

Jock Coats was up late last night and spotted a Tory bloomer within their Quality of Life commission report. That is that outlawing stand-by functionality on TVs has already been announced by the government...thirteen months ago.

Iain Dale, bless him, has now spotted another fatal flow in one of the proposals:

I've just watched Zak Goldsmith's interview with Andrew Marr (HERE). His Quality of Life Policy Commission will be proposing that if your house is 'environmentally friendly' you will get a reduction in stamp duty when you sell it. Only one problem with that, as far as I can see. It is the buyer who pays stamp duty, not the seller.

Ooops...again.

  1. Let me say first of all that I am not a Conservative. Indeed I am a LibDem campaigner, but...

    ... in fairness to the Tories, not having to pay stamp duty will be an incentive for a buyer - in other words, although the seller will not directly benefit from not having to pay stamp duty, their property will be more attractive in the marketplace.
