I don't think it will win them any votes (at least, not any votes they don't already have). It just shows they don't have any new ideas, and are only capable of thinking "we're Tories - we want lower taxes!"
When I studied Politics we were repeatedly told that in opinion polls people say they want higher taxes because it makes them feel virtuous, but that they don't really want them and any party which doesn't promise low taxes is on to a loser. But I do wonder - maybe people say they want higher taxes because they actually do want higher taxes... as long as they can see improvements for their money. I know I'd pay higher taxes (not that I pay taxes, but whatever) for better public services if I could be sure that was what I was going to get. Anyone else?
