Re: Harry Potter

Sorry.... in the build up to the 1992 election, Labour told the electorate that in order to improve education, health, etc they'd have to increase taxation. The general feeling around the country was that people were willing to pay more tax in order to gain better services and Labour were well ahead in the polls.

When it came down to it, people voted with their pockets and the Tories were re-elected.

I know it was far more complex than that, but it just reminded me of that.
