    Mark, I do agree with you and if we want truly acountable local government we need them to be able to raise all their own finance,not just a small proportion. It is not good enough to have such a system where local and national government can play the blame game.

    Personally I agree with the proposals put forward by Dan Hannan of VAT being switch to a local (county level) local sales tax. The numbers stack up fairly well for that, with Council Tax also being a part of the package (reformed). In these proposals some help, at least transitionary, will be needed to a few particular deprived areas but most in most places it could work out quite well.
