Summary of tax increases, but do not support the violation of promises

• Only 20% of voters support tax increases from Reeves.
• Labour Party deputies receive explanations of the economic reasons for tax increases.
• Reeves plans to announce changes to the tax system in the budget.

According to a new survey, only a fifth of voters support the plans of Rachel Reeves to violate the Labour Party's manifesto regarding tax increases. The majority of citizens believe that the government should not be allowed to violate its promises, even if this is in the interests of the country.

The survey conducted by the analytical center Demos showed that 67% of respondents from the reform party consider tax increases unacceptable. The majority of Labour supporters are divided: 38% support tax increases, while 38% oppose them.

It is expected that Reeves will announce a tax increase on income and a reduction in national insurance. This could bring in more than £6 billion a year. It also emphasizes the need for changes in the tax system to reduce inequalities.

Meanwhile, the government is starting to indicate that for the sake of avoiding a political backlash, it is important to introduce tax changes with a clear plan that demonstrates how new revenues will improve public services.

The cabinet of ministers plans to hold special sessions for deputies to explain the economic circumstances that will force tax increases. This is part of the strategy to avoid a political crisis.

Reeves noted that the government is obliged to act in the interests of the country, even if this requires violating previous promises not to raise taxes.

Political analysts assert that if tax increases are linked to improvements in public services, citizens may perceive this more positively.
