So something that improves your health, reduces obesity, reduces disease burden on the NHS etc has to obstructed by licences and red tape? Where do you stop? What about licences for pedestrians (who may run their key along the side your car)? Children on those little push things? Old people on zimmers? I mean they have wheels and could bump into a car or cause a scratch?

Something the like of which every recent government has been desperate to promote. Even if it was a great idea, I can't see it ever gaining any political traction.

It will turn every cyclist against them (a growing sector since Wiggins fever got all the mamils out on the street), 1% - the aforementioned "they don't pay road tax" band will be all for it and the other 99% of the populace won't be bothered or maybe won't even read that far into the manifesto.

Twas but a suggestion based on this system...

Joking apart, a similar system operated in Western Australia in the 1990's when I was there, where your 'Rego' or what we'd call the car tax included basic 3rd party insurance.  It was very reasonable too!

Be sorted before the NHS

The NHS won't be sorted. The political parties want it to fail. The recent reorganisation, fragmentation and decentralisation of budget all point in that direction. Then they will have a reason to privatise it. Which then means the second largest expense for the treasury has just disappeared. But if you expect the politicians to openly agree to this, then that is not going to happen.

I have said this before. If you want to have an idea of what is happening to the NHS currently; watch this link. The speakers views are quite neutral in wanting to simply protect her healthcare options.

Bit of an aside but the thread heading applies.

That's a bit unfair, as I could name a few in the 'main party's' who have a checkered past.
Funny how that does not see the light of day....Peter Hain, Jack Straw, are two that quickly flipped to the brain

And...I recall plenty of slag thrown at our Boris....errrrrr is he UKIP. I seem to remember him being Tory

Funny how those stories are still being ignored by the BBC
