Comments (0)

Voters believe that taxes for those earning above £150,000 should be raised according to the latest data from the Election Compass UK.

Data from over 12,000 responses to the questionnaire shows that voters want higher earners to pay more tax in a demand for redistributive economic policies.

Around 69% of respondents agree that taxes for those earning more than £150,000 per year should be raised, with less than 20% opposing the measure.

63% of respondents also favour boosting government spending for the construction of public housing, while 61% support the introduction of a ‘mansion tax’ for properties worth over £2 million.
