If you don't use the value of the house for council tax i.e. on the assumption that you live in an expensive area therefore earn a good wage and can afford to pay more (which in a nutshell is the principle of the banding) - then you have to discuss other ways for councils to get their funding and the other way is per person! Which, if you recall was the principle of Poll Tax and think of the disruption and outrage that that caused. There are probably people still languishing in our overcrowded jails because they refused to pay Poll Tax.
