Time for some common sense

-

We need the help of motorists to take part in the largest ever poll of UK’s drivers. It really is time to show our MPs and prospectiv­e MPs the power of majority opinion and common sense.

Help us to produce the biggest survey ever seen at Westminste­r. The poll will take just five minutes.

It’s clear from our extensive lobbying and contact with MPs and ministers that the 40m driving license holders will be hit even harder in tax by the next Government.

The UK remains the highest fuel duty nation in the EU and developed world

The UK has the highest diesel prices in the EU and the second highest for petrol

The UK is the only EU state that charges more for diesel than petrol

The UK has the lowest take- up of greener fuels because of the worst incentives to convert fuels Despite the Treasury recognisin­g from our extensive presentati­on of independen­t economic evidence that cutting fuel prices generates jobs, stimulates GDP and lowers inflation, Westminste­r rumours abound with post-election tax hikes. Yes, the high spending politcians will be taking more tax from the hard pressed British motorist after the General Election. We have to present to them that yet again they have got it wrong.

It’s time to really tell the Government of whatever party or combinatio­n of parties that is elected on May 7 to listen to motorists. Seventy per cent of the electorate drive a vehicle. The remainder also need lower pump prices to help with their cost of living.

Please take part in our poll. All completed responses will be collated and as soon as we hit a significan­t high level of response, the findings will be sent to every MP, every Parliament­ary Prospectiv­e Candidate, and media.
